Golden Paw Chewing; Yeast over-growth in your dog ;

Question
Hi Marie, our 4 yr old Golden (110 lbs) has been chewing his paws for a couple of years and has had constant ear infections.  We have spent a couple of thousand dollars with 4 different Vets with no real results except for the ear infection.  I have read  that Omega 3 and 6 seem to work well for these problems.  Do you feel this will eliminate the paw chewing?  If so, where do you recommend buying these products and what dosage?  We eliminated the wheat products over a year ago.  

If there are other solutions, we would appreciate your help.  Our Golden is a wonderful member of our family and we hate to see him suffer from this paw problem.

Thank you,

Bill and Barbara Roberts

Answer
Hi Roberts Family!  I would love to help your golden kid!  Well, I bet it is MORE environmental allergies than the food allergies... JUST a good guess ...I work with dogs like this all the time 1000s of them.

Now let's try some supplements and the NuVET Immune system booster.

1.  First supplement - Salmon oil - Please find PURE salmon oil at the local pet store or order on-line from Yummy Chummies in Alaska or Grizzley oil .
Give 1 1/2 tablespoons per day - Good for skin, hips and joints.

2.. Please pop him onto some Vitamin E (1) of a 200 IU per day - for 2 weeks daily  and then just (1) every-other-day long term.  This is the Vitamin E for humans, as pets can take this too.

3...  A MUST - PLEASE place your little doggie kid on 2 NuVET wafers per day ..... for " 4 " weeks and then DROP down to just 1 per day - long term.

NuVET will help this boy RE-BUILD his immune system and it helps to fight off the ENVIRONMENTAL allergens that are setting off the ear infections and itchies.

4.  I would go with a Quality Probitic / for the over-growth of yeast.

Flora Force is great by Nature's Sunshine - I would have him on 2 per day for 1 month and then cut down to 1 per day - very long term.
***Call around to Heath Stores and see if they carry Nature's Sunshine Products....

My clients have great luck with the Flora Force ...
Good for the Humans in the family, too!  ( get rid of yeast / great for allergies )
