Dog Food Allergies – Don’t Fall Victim

                                                Labrador Retrievers and Allergies

Although this article deals primarily with Labradors, it applies to nearly all breeds.

Typically the dog that begins to display signs of loose bowels, vomiting, itching, hot spots, chewing of the paws, hair loss, dry skin, gassiness, or any other similar symptom is subjectively diagnosed by a veterinarian as having food allergies. The usual course of “treatment” is to change dog foods – usually to an expensive prescription food.  Some vets will administer Cortisone and other medicines to ease itching and control loose bowels. Labrador Puppy owners especially take notice – pups under six months are much more susceptible to loose stools for reasons one through six. Definitions: Soft stool looks like pudding. True diarrhea is the forceful projection of nearly all water in a stream, sometimes traveling up to two feet.

IN EVERY CASE WE HAVE SEEN, THESE STEPS ONLY LED TO TEMPORARY RELIEF AND DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
