Allergies in Dogs: Fact or Fiction?

Why does my dog have allergies?

BUT, MAYBE THERE'S A MUCH BETTER QUESTION, LIKE...

"Why do I BELIEVE that my dog (or Cat) has allergies?" Very likely, it is because you have one or more veterinary professionals giving you an all-too-quick assessment that all the itching and skin or ear problems causing suffering for your pet are a result of allergic reactions. Unfortunately, you - like millions of other people in any given month - have been led into this "dog allergies" mind set without benefit of being able to consider, or even be AWARE of where a REAL 'understandable cause' may lie. That is the purpose of this article - to provide "food for thought", and allow you to re-evaluate the situation, from an alternative point of view. Certainly, there IS something very seriously wrong with your pet - causing all those symptoms. But to help you, we need to build the foundation that allows you to change your thinking - since most people reading this have already been 'convinced' that allergies is the fundamental issue.

HOW A VET IS LED TO THE "ALLERGIES" DIAGNOSIS...

An observant veterinary professional will recognize (in your pet) the "immune system response" (inflammation) that causes all that itching, redness, or inflamed ears. What cannot be seen is the constant stream of TOXINS and dying Fungus/Candida cells coming to the surface of the skin from the internal disorder/imbalance in the GUT. Yes, FUNGUS - rather than allergies - is commonly the real problem; and, this issue is resolvable, where allergies is NOT. It is the JOB of the immune system to respond to something going on within the skin; and, like a Mosquito bite, the inflammation response then results in ITCHING, heat, and redness. Since veterinary schooling did not cover 'digestive disorders' - that can cause external symptoms - the NATURAL tendency is... to 'go with the flow', and assume that "allergies" are the causative factor. This is largely because "allergies in dogs" has become the 'industry standard' de facto diagnosis for these problems, and has developed over decades into a billion dollar industry.

WHERE TO GO FROM HERE...

So far, you have likely only trusted doctors. Yes, we ALL want and need to trust the diagnosis decisions of our doctors; but, does that necessarily mean they are always right? I think most of us know the answer to that question. While writing this, I can tell you of my own experience. My friend and his wife trusted the concurrence of 3 doctors and had surgery on our 6-year-old daughter - only to find out the surgery had no effect on the problem, which was discovered years later to be a digestive disorder. Sound familiar?

It is a pretty safe assumption that you want to end the suffering for your dog or cat, but it is usually the confusion that gets in the way, and keeps people from wanting to hear anything contrary to the 'allergies' mindset that was instigated by well-meaning veterinary professionals. It is highly recommended that if you have been given the "allergy" diagnosis from your vet, you should do research on the symptoms. Once you can identify the symptoms, it should become fairly clear on what the real issue is. More times than not, it is a digestive issue or the Candida Yeast. There are some very excellent all natural pet supplements available on the market that provide the nutrients that aids and supports the bodys' healing ability. Some even guarantees results.
