Food allergies
Nursing a sick animal is often considered as an art and this should not be taken as a causal measure.
Food allergies are something that is difficult to identify unless one is well aware of the baseline information with regard to this type of allergy. The main symptoms of food allergies in dogs include the facial itching, limb chewing, belly itching, recurrent ear infections or skin infections.Since the dogs consume lot of prepared foodmaterials including various kinds of proteins,fillers, coloring agents and more; in the commercial foodmaterials, the incidences of food allergies are more than one can imagine. Allergic reactions mostly involve the skin or the gastro intestinal tract.
If you come across your dog itching after the provision of specific food materials, then suspect the food allergy in this animal. However, conditions like fungal infections need to be ruled out in general before the conclusion of itching as a sign of food allergy.
There are many recorded incidences of allergies of dogs to corn or to wheat. However, the food allergies vary from dog to dog. Read the labels clearly before feeding your dogs with pet food materials, in such occasions. Too much colored food materials may be avoided since they may cause allergies to your dog.
Food allergies are often linked to the hyper active behavior noticed in the dogs. Added colors, preservatives, and high fat diet might cause such food allergies in the dogs and hence, one has to be careful in providing new kind of diet to their dogs and closely monitor the dog for any signs of allergy.
There are many occasions that food allergies might be diagnosed in the dogs but the dog may have other problems like pancreatitis. To rule out the food allergies, observation your dogs every time you feed them, look for reasons to link the signs of dog with food given, specific signs encountered, differential diagnosis etc. are the important features to be given emphasis.
"Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog Because.."
In fact, through my own research I discovered dog food contains at least 6 deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods because they cause:
Kidney cancer
*
Bladder cancer
*
Skin cancer
*
Stomach cancer
*
Spleen cancer
*
Leukemia
*
Liver dysfunction
*
Major organ failure
*
Immune system collapse
*
Severe allergic reactions
*
Birth Defects
*
Blindness
*
Chronic Diarrhea
*
Hair Loss and
Behavior problems, including increased aggressiveness --> very dangerous if your dog is around children
And if you think, like I did, that buying foods labeled as chemical and preservative free makes them safe, think again... it's just more lies!
To find out the truth about dog food & what you should be feeding your dog, also view innocent victim of dog-food poisoning.
PLEASE, don't let this tragic story become your own!
