Relief for Food Allergies in Dogs
Dogs like humans often suffer from allergies and the symptoms can be devistating.
Common symptoms can include runny eyes and nose, sneezing, itchy ears, ear infections, itchy eyes, chewing or biting at skin especially between toes, front of elbows, groin, under arms, flanks, hips, around the anal area, redness where dogs can contact products and around the mouth and face if biting at bees wasps, soft poop, and more frequent bowel movements.
Dogs typically only have a few of these symptoms not usually all of them.
What are the triggers for allergies in dogs? They are usually from 4 broad categories.
First they can be from parasites and insects like fleas, ticks, ants, spiders, bees, and wasps.
Second contact with products like flea and tick products, cleaning products, lawn chemicals and many other products.
Third from the pollen from grasses, weeds and trees and dust, dust mites or insect infestations like cockroaches.
Fourth from food.
Today I would like to address food allergies. Most dogs are allergic to animal proteins like eggs, beef and chicken.
A new company has started producing a dog food that has great promise in helping dogs with food allergies in dogs from allergies to animal proteins.
If after working with your veterinarian they feel that a food allergy is likely then it may be worth a try feeding this new food
It is called Wild Earth Dog Food.
If you Google " Wild Earth Dog Food" you should be directed to the site.
Please be aware that you should be working with a licensed veterinarian and there are other plant foods that can cause allergies but they are much less common.
A few tips, be sure to only feed the food and water during the trial, also even a tiny amount of the allergen can trigger symptoms so no treats, table food or getting into the garbage. Most dogs will see relief from symptoms in 2 to 6 weeks so don't come to any conclusions until you give it a solid 6 weeks. Some dogs can take up to 12 weeks to see relief but this is the rare case.
I like the fact that no animals are killed to make Wild Earth Dog food.
Also if you use the coupon code
