Food and skin allergies

1/3/2012

2 Comments

 
Without a doubt one of the biggest factors in controlling allergies is quality foods, particularly avoiding certain ingredients like by products, wheat, and soy.  The other problem, especially in a tight economy is how to feed our pets in a cost effective way.  When I had to first address this issue with Kramer I cooked for him, went the organic route but ended up getting him good food brands (I will go into names in a future blog)
Some clients have been affected by the economy and are not able to go fully organic, or home cooked but its not necessary to fully managed skin allergies.

If I purchase this salve and my Min Pin licks it off will it make him sick? He probably will but I could put a t shirt on him at night.Besides itching and chewing he licks a lot. He has been scraped for mites and was negative. He does have anxiety.
Thanks

Hello Ruth
No, Kramer's Salve contains Neem and Aloe Vera. Both have been ingested by my dogs over the years with no ill effect - note only a very small amount is used. I usually recommend sitting with the pet for about 10 mins to prevent licking (so the ingredients can work) then leave them be. If you also want to use a shirt that is fine as well. Kramer was a Airedale Terrier so he would just rip off any clothing I used on him :) I would recommend using either Chamomile drops or Rescue Remedy (can be found at any natural food store) for your Min Pin's Anxiety. I have used this to integrate cats into the household and to settle the family down after a member has passed away.
I would also recommend looking into Missing Link (we are not associated with them, but Kramer's used this during his immune rebuilding phase.)
The aim of natural allergy care is to build up the imune response with natural therapies and use conventional care (steroids and antibiotics) only in emergencies.
please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
