Dogs With Allergies and/or Dry Skin!

Have you been told that your dog suffers from "allergies?" If so, it is sometimes difficult to determine just what exactly is it your dog is allergic to, and in reality, the problem may not be allergies at all. In fact, most allergy related symptoms usually stem from something completely unrelated to an issue normally associated with 'allergies." For example, the most common symptom in "dog allergies", is scratching and/or itching. There are many reported cases of the skin becoming so itchy that dogs will literally scratch themselves until they bleed. Additionally, it is not uncommon for dogs to scratch themselves bald. Like humans, there are a myriad of types of allergies and even more causes of those allergies. The most common dog allergies consist of: food allergies, dust mites, mold, other animals, other dogs, people, insects and insect bites, and seasonal allergies. It is pretty easy to spot when your dog is having an allergic reaction as it will scratch itself constantly. The itching is indeed painful even though it gives the appearance of temporary relief.

It is sometimes very difficult to determine what the underlying cause of the symptoms afflicting your pet. Meaning, it may very well not even be an allergy. For example, your dog or cat could be suffering from a Candida Yeast Infection. Since many allergic reactions can be caused by many different causes, it is difficult to pinpoint and many times a vet will simply diagnose your pet with an allergy and they will then recommend a rather innocuous remedy such as Benadryl, topical steroid, shampoos, topical sprays, even an allergy shot. More times than not however, these remedies offer no long term relief, let alone a sustaining cure for the underlying problem.

Just as there are many types of allergies and recommended treatments, as noted above, there are all-natural products on the market that have shown to be an excellent aid in helping the body use its natural ability to not only offer immediate relief, but have actually been instrumental in the overcoming the condition altogether. One of the most common causes for allergies in pets, is poor food diet. There are several makers of All natural supplements on the market, which provides the body with tools to help itself heal naturally. These products are a safe and holistic approach to supplying your pets the nutrients that they may not be getting from their food (particularly if they are being fed food manufactured by the large commercial brands.)
