What is one of the most common reasons why dogs and cats visit the Vet?
Allergies.
Oh so common, and oh so bothersome. Very unpleasant to have, and the treatment unfortunately has its whole host of problems. The three most common allergies your dog will have are also the most unpleasant, painful, and uncomfortable for your pet.
The good news is, it’s easy to spot them if you know what you’re looking for and it can be really easy for you to get rid of them and make your pet feel 1,000 times better in the process.
The three most common allergies are:
- Environmental ( ie House dust mites)
- Food Allergies ( protein)- facial pruritis in cats
- Flea Allergies
The most common way to treat all of these allergies is with steroids, but I don’t recommend that at all. The only way I’d ever recommend you do that is as an absolute last resort.
Here’s why steroids are so bad.
These are some of the side effects:
- Increased drinking and urinating ( pu/pd)
- Hair Loss
- Diabetes
- Liver Disease
- Behavioural Changes
- Idiopathic Cushings disease
- Immunosuppression- producing infections, cancer
…But what’s the alternative?
The top natural options to treat them are:
- Essential Fatty Acids, Flax seed, Marine Fish oil( 1000mg per 50lbs daily)
- Hypoallergenic Foods
- Shampoo- Oatmeal and Conditioner
- Herbal- Skin Eze
