Dog Allergies
Skin allergies are the most common reason dog owners take their dogs to the see their Veterinary. With humans allergies usually result in respiratory problems but with dogs the problem is usually the skin and itching is the principal sign of trouble.
What causes dry skin on dogs? The number one allergen for dogs is wheat. The first thing you need to do is check the label on the dog food you are using. If there is wheat, corn or chemical preservatives on the label you may want to look for a dog food without these ingredients. As you are probably aware all of our dog treats except pumpkin biscotti do not contain any wheat, corn, soy, or preservatives.
What can you do to help solve dog skin allergies?
- Eliminate all wheat and corn from the diet of your dog.
- Add a small amount of natural kelp to the food you feed your dog. Kelp is a valuable source of vitamins and also helps with digestion and healing injuries. We carry this at the store and on our website and have many Customers that will be pleased to tell you about the positive results their dog received from this product.
- Use a dog shampoo with omega-3 and make sure you rinse completely.
