My dog was losing hair and found out that it was allergic to chicken. I now buy my dogs vegetarian food and mixing it with minced pork or beef and it immediately got better. Always read the labels of food packets, don’t just trust the front otherwise do as I did

Thank you Dr Alex for taking the time to make your videos.im your biggest fan from across the pond.lol...i hope you have a wonderful day my friend from me and Arnold and bigfoot we all three are very thankful for you helping us with your videos. Take care we all love you buddy 👍 you are like family to us..

Could it be that GMO’s in chicken beef and cheese in the dog food are the problem

Vets don’t know everything sometimes it’s up to the owners to know their pet and figure it out, the vets don’t know your pet. If it’s an emergency then yes the vet would be helpful. I would try every remedy/method before rushing to the vet.

Thank you this was most helpful

Kangaroo or crocodile would be quite a surprise here in the US! 😄 Thank you for all of this fantastic information!

I used to use Science Diet hydrolyzed. Years later went back to it when finances improved. He had diarrhea for two months. Figured he was getting used to it. So bought another bag. Same thing. I figured they changed the formula. I read the back package. It did say they changed it and may cause problems with some dogs.

This helps do a degree, but my dog is allergic to certain proteins but also is allergic to flaxseed, pumpkin, dairy, certain oils, grains, and some environmental allergies. I’ve done a allergy test and I’ve eliminated everything on the test and my dog is fine just trying to manage seasonal allergy, and nothing is wrong with exotic proteins especially with rotating proteins with dogs for certain diets. So this can be true what you say but every dog is different. And grains do cause allergies not just protein or dairy. Anything is possible.

When you say their itchiness starts again pretty quickly after introducing a new ingredient, how quickly do you mean? I have been challenging my dog’s hypoallergenic diet with 1 tbsp of rice daily over the past few days and I’m not sure if he is itching more than usual. How many days should I keep testing rice and after how many days will I know if it is a safe ingredient for him?

I have a 7mo Boston terrier. He has had red eye conjunctiva with prominent third eyelids bilaterally since he was around 14 weeks old. They don’t seem to bother him. No scratching and no obvious skin issues apart from his eye stains worsening over time. Do you think that sounds more like environmental or food allergies? Thanks! Ps our vet said he would most likely grow out of it but nothing really has happened or helped. Benadryl doesn’t help. I don’t feed him any table food. All he eats is Royal Canin puppy food and daily he gets a lick mat with half a table spoon of coconut oil. I even stopped giving him his favorite treat, vital essentials duck nibs, in case that was causing it.

Hello dr Alex my dog keeps getting absence on his check and I think it might be something he is eating but can it be something he is allergic and can I affect him in any way other then inflammation on the check?

If it’s just below his eye then it is often due to a tooth root infection

When you say wheat is only a source of carbs and not proteines, you don’t know what wheat is. It may not have the huge amounts pf proteines meats have, but when it comes to allergies, it’s usually the proteines in wheat that cause problems. Carbs are just energy.

@OurPetsHealth

yes, but I wasn't commenting on what exactly in the wheat was causing the allergy, more the category that it is thought of as. Wheat after all is not added for it's protein component, it is thought of primarily as the carbohydrate component of a diet

They are specific allergens to specific individuals suffering from food allergy. Only about 10% of allergic dogs suffer from a food allergy, and an individual will normally only be allergic to one dietary allergen

Well the first ingredient I see with Z/D is corn starch. You said no chicken that’s another ingredient I see. My dogs are having trouble with yeast infection so right now I prefer no rice, Potatoes or sugar. Of course starchy foods break down into sugar so Im trying to do less sugar as possible.

We are really struggling with our puppy. She is obviously intolerant to something but it’s so hard to find. She’s scratching so much she’s bleeding, crying all night from scratching. We have spent a fortune on the vet to do skin and fur tests to prove nothing! And hurt my little girl. We have cut beef and chicken from her diet but then found out the food we moved her too had beef protein in... so now we spent ages looking forba hypoallergenic food that doesn’t have any wheat beef or chicken in. Lets see.... so difficult to watch her in pain.

Hi, I know this isn’t related to the video but my dog keeps eating it’s poop. I have tried switching their food, checked with the vet if there was anything wrong, put nutrients in their food. All these other dog videos say to just pick it up when they are done which I do. But I have a full time job and have kids to take care of. I can’t always stay out there and wait for my dog to go to the bathroom. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this. Is it possible it is a learned behavior?
