Hi Friend,

In veterinary practice I most often saw dogs for one BIG thing...

Allergies

I designed my dog supplement to HELP with the chronic scratching and hair loss with antioxidants, EFA's and probiotics.

Atopic Dermatitis is the most common cause of allergic symptoms in dogs.
In the past it was explained as being primarily due to allergens that were inhaled; now the belief is that these allergens are absorbed in the skin, then cause your dog’s immune system to respond inappropriately


The symptoms
Scratching, hair loss, odor, ear infections, paw licking, anal licking, redness (especially groin), blackening and thickening of skin.


Causes
In dogs atopy can develop in any dog, but certain breeds are predisposed, such as terriers and retrievers. In cats the disease is heritable.

Skin allergen exposure is an important additional part of the cause. It involves complex mechanism and cells such as cytokines, T cells, which secrete an antibody (IgE).


This antibody in conjunction with the allergen (ie grass) then causes Mast cells to release inflammatory components: histamine, leukotrienes, and substance P.

This then results in the inflammation and itching (pruritis).

A few lesser known solutions:

Turmeric

Turmeric (Curcuma longa), the major ingredient of curry powder and prepared mustard, has a long history in both Chinese and Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent.

At higher levels it stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete cortisone.
The standard oral dose of curcumin is 250-400 mg, three times a day.


Probiotics

Probiotics are increasingly being used for dogs with allergies. These beneficial bacteria play a role in normalizing the overactive immune system.

You may see some marked decrease in allergic signs after using probiotics for 4 weeks. I am using my supplements with lactobacillus and bifidobacterium, but you can dose lactobacillus at 1/4 capsule per 10 lbs of body weight twice daily.
