IS YOUR DOG’S SKIN ITCHY?
If your dog has itchy skin or their skin smells then they could have skin problems.
Skin issues range from mild and occasional through to chronic ongoing, constant irritation. None of these should be ignored.
There are whole variety of skin conditions that could be affecting your pet such as:
- flea allergy
- contact allergy
- acute moist dermatitis (hot spot)
- allergic dermatitis
- bacterial skin infection
- hay fever
Are food allergies to blame?
Dogs can suffer food allergies and food sensitivities just like humans. This usually results in being itchy all over, especially after eating certain types of foods containing the offending ingredient.
Wheat and corn are common allergens; grains also take a long time to be digested and contribute to inflammation. Itching is due to inflamed skin so it make sense to feed a diet that reduces, not contributes to inflammation.
Food and skin allergies
To have healthy skin, dogs should be fed a balanced diet of raw wholefoods. Fresh foods are nourishing to the skin because they have not been processed. Most processed foods are cooked, and cooking destroys about 70% of any of the good nutrients. Feeding raw is therefore better than feeding cooked for most dogs. Meat and small amounts of liver (such as PROMISE Organic Beef Liver Bites and/or Sprinkles) and ground green vegetables are important to nourish the skin.
