Pets
Please go to the website for more
information, your pets will love you for this and you will be able to sleep
better knowing that you care!
Allergies and Intolerances
Food intolerance refers to a
gastrointestinal response triggered by certain ingredients. For instance, a dog
with a sensitive stomach may not be able to tolerate certain ingredients that
then lead to diarrhea, vomiting or irritable bowel.
Scratch, Scratch: Recognizing the Signs
and Symptoms
Just because your pets aren’t coughing and
sneezing, as we do when confronted by some allergens, that doesn’t mean they
aren’t suffering all the same.
Pets with food allergies tend to
experience skin irritation when exposed to known allergens, which in turn
causes varied scratching behaviors.
Identifying and Removing the Offending
Foods
Some of the most common offenders are
common ingredients found in dog foods. The most common food allergens for dogs
are beef, dairy products, eggs, chicken, corn, wheat and soy.
The key is to determine which one or more
of these ingredients are responsible for your pet’s distress. To make that
determination, a food elimination trial should be performed. In the elimination
trial, you should choose a wholesome, complete and balanced diet that avoids
ingredients to which the pet has previously been exposed, then feed this
recipe, and this recipe only, for six to eight weeks.
