How To Relieve Allergies In Pets The Natural Way

Is your pet's suffering making you sad as well? Your dog is scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratching and scratch When you're attempting to unwind on the sofa, she whines and wiggles.

Maybe it's your cat... he irritates himself by pawing at his ears. And you see traces of intestinal distress all throughout the home.

You're not alone if you're struggling with this pet parent issue. Skin disorders are the most common cause for dog owners to see the veterinarian.

And now for the story's second surprising twist... It's possible that the problem isn't fleas, but allergies. The second most common cause of itchy skin in dogs and cats is allergies. Allergies in dogs and cats are usually visible on their skin.

Whether it's a response to something they ate, pollen or dust mite dander they breathed in, or something they rolled about in, when dogs react to an allergy, it generally manifests itself as hives, inflammation, and irritation.

Though your pet acts as if his skin is on fire, he might be suffering from an allergic response.

However, before you run out and spend hundreds of dollars to take him to the vet and buy anti-inflammatory medication, think about this.

You may be able to help his body relax simply by changing his diet...

Nutrient #1 for Pet Allergies: Good Food

Begin with the fundamentals. Don't scrimp on pet food since, like humans, excellent nutrition is the cornerstone for optimal pet health and a balanced immune response.

Pet feeds with a good amount of nutritious protein – not simply leftover skin and fats – are best. While many animal byproducts, such as organ meats and cartilage, offer essential nourishment for dogs, pet food manufacturers do not differentiate between the good and the bad. Everything goes into the machine. As a result, animal byproducts are often a less desired element.

However, adequate protein alone isn't enough... You must ensure that the diet has all of the essential amino acids. Dogs can't digest protein unless they have all 18.

In addition, your pet's diet should have all of the vitamins and minerals that they need to flourish. And there's a lot of fiber. This kind of healthy nourishment may be found in a pet diet that includes veggies, meats, and grains.

Finally, certain carbs are beneficial. However, non-GMO grains should be sought out. GMO grains have been linked to allergic responses and inflammation in animals, according to some study.

If changing your pet's diet to a more nutritious pet food doesn't solve the issue, there are some extra nutritional supplements you may give him...

Nutrient #2 for Pet Allergies: Probiotics

Pets, like humans, need a healthy bacterial flora in their stomachs to help their immune and digestive systems function optimally. Probiotic bacteria, like those found in people, may help your pet's immune system relax. When given to dogs early in infancy, probiotics may be quite helpful, according to a research published in the journal Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology. Probiotics were given to one litter of pups in this research. The second litter, on the other hand, was not. Pups given L. rhamnosus, a probiotic bacterium, showed less allergy responses to timothy, ragweed pollen, and dust mites than puppies given no probiotics. [1]

Pets' exposure to these beneficial bacteria has decreased dramatically as their diets have shifted to more canned, prepared, and processed foods. Fortunately, a growing number of pet food companies are include probiotic cultures in their products. Check for live, active probiotic microorganisms on the label.

And, to get the most out of your pet's probiotic supplements, consider include this final ingredient in his or her diet...

Nutrient #3 for Pet Allergies: Chlorella

Chlorella is an excellent source of nutrients for probiotic development. According to studies, chlorella may treble the rate of probiotic bacteria development. [2]

While the relationship between chlorella as a prebiotic and probiotic development is intriguing, it isn't the only reason chlorella may keep your pet calm and itch-free...

Researchers wanted to know for sure whether chlorella's unique nutrition may assist dogs suffering from skin allergies find relief. As a result, in 2008, they devised a small-scale research to confirm this...

For four weeks, researchers gave chlorella to a group of five beagles with atopic dermatitis. Supplementation was not given to another set of beagles who had the same issues. The vets in charge of the canines' health were blown away at the conclusion of the four weeks. Over 85% of the chlorella group had notable improvements in itchy skin on their backs as well as decreased inflammation in their ears. [3] In fact, one dog's problems were entirely gone!
