Hello! What are your thoughts on Omega 3's as a supplement to aid against allergy symptoms? I have been thinking of the raw diet for our bloodhound as well - but havent gotten that far. I've recently read up about omega 3's - what do you think?
@gjbfn Hi, omega 3's are a good thing for sure. However by going raw fed, supplements become unnecessary, just feed a selection of meats on the bone and a small amount of vegetable matter and your done. Raw green tripe is awesome if you can find it. It contains omega 3's, veg, plus a 50:50 calcium/phosphorous mix (meat/bone).
As supplements have never been tested on dogs, we dont know what we are doing, it's all guess work. A simple raw food diet fixes much and stops the vet visits-Done!
@danscott888 Great - thanks so much! Any suggestion on what to start with - Chicken, beef, lamb or turkey? Or a little of all....And should these be purchased at a butcher - or is ok to purchase from the local grocery? Sorry for so many questions - I want to make sure I get this right.
@gjbfn Start with chicken for one week then move onto lamb, tripe, beef etc and see which your dog prefers. At the butcher's fine or local grocery does not matter. Make the pieces larger than can be swallowed so your dog has to work on it and don't worry about (soft pliable raw) chicken bones, your dog wont!
If you need all the in's and out's of feeding this way with tips, how to's and detailed information, my book is available from the blog-link under video.
@DropYourAllergies Hi, Let me just get this straight with you guys. The reason dogs get allergies from the environment is because of immune system response to commercial dog food ie fillers, chemicals and corn suppress their immune system and leave them exposed to many allergies.
Everyone wants to make a buck off dogs-just feed them an approximation of a naturally occuring raw food diet (canine carnivore diet) and all else is taken care of. Simple, overall cheaper, strong immune system-DONE!
This man is talking as the only cause of allergy is foof ,This is a false statement because allergy in dogs are related to many factors as fleas ,envoronmental allergen ,hormonal disturbance and also food allergy which is not the most frequent cause ,so this man is very strange ,I m a vet and i know what i m talking about (english is not my first language )
@MrEquin35 Hi, yeah sure there's other causes for allergies in dogs but food my friend when it comes in cans and packets is highly allergenic period and IS the biggest cause of allergies in dogs. Your a vet that's great, we need vets but we also need canine nutritionists who 'really' know what they are talking about when it comes to dog nutrition and correct diet for their health, wellbeing and immune system support.
It's through good diet dogs ward off the other allergens you mention.
I have just started feeding my Lab with a history of of food allergies, itchy skin, yeast infections, and ear infections raw food.
We changed over after a 24 hour fast from kibble. She is handling the beef very well digestievly but she is itching quite a bit. Do you think she may have allergies to the beef or do you think it may be a detox effect since it's not causing digestive problems? Should I continue to feed beef for the rest of the week or switch to bison or something more exotic.
@Pscheelar Hi Again (replied to previous thread on this). Will say though, your on the right track. Your Lab (wonderful dog...I've had two) has a lot to detox so expect the itching and It will pass over the next couple of weeks. Ask if you need further help.
@redpinto He did not pitch anything. He was not trying to sell you anything and did not name any specific products. A good quality food is essential for a dog if you want to get rid of allergies. Most supermarket brand food and even some of the bigger names have ingredients in them that would turn your stomach.
I have an English Bully and know first hand what a bad and healthy diet will do. I too started with just thinking "dog food" was dog food. Switched foods and all the problems went away.
@jortiz9758 Hi and well said "I too started with just thinking ''dog food" was dog food". This is the crux of the problem as most think canned and kibble are acceptable as nutrition for dogs, not realizing it's the cause of so much pain and future suffering for our pets when a little knowledge about whats right for dogs will see them to a long healthy life with greatly reduced costs for us-a win win situation.
@bonjovigg1 Hi there, common problem as the hair follicle has a sebacious gland that feeds it and this gland's nutrient requirements are not being met by commercial dog food. So therefore it cant support the hair and the hair falls out in greater numbers. Feed a nutritious natural based raw food diet and the hair loss will stop along with muliple other benefits.
Hi, facts and figures about how much commercial dog food is affecting our dogs, just to get people thinking and not a pitch in sight (not the way I do things). Your perception is your projection.
