In the beginning God made the wolf. It was a great design. Everything worked well and the wolf was (and is) one of nature’s most successful predators.
Then along came man. He got to looking at the wolf one night as his tame wolf pup lay next to the fire outside his cave. And said, “Hmmm, not bad I guess, but it would sure be cute if his nose was shorter.” Nowadays our wolves have, through 6 millennia of selective breeding, been converted into everything from great danes to chihuahuas and poodles to pugs.
In addition to changing their anatomy, we’ve changed our friends’ environment and diet as well. We inject them with drugs and vaccines, douse them with chemicals to kill fleas and ticks and feed them diets composed mostly of genetically modified corn.
As a veterinarian, I see first-hand what modern living has done to our dogs. Among the most common complaints are allergies. The modern dog seems to be telling us “Enough already!” Their bodies have become so exhausted from dealing with toxins, chemicals and foods they weren’t designed to eat that they just decide to reject or become allergic to everything. As the histamine levels in their bodies rise, the liver is overwhelmed and the only recourse is to sub-contract some of the detoxification work to the skin. That’s when the itching starts.
Many of my patients have benefitted from Silver Lining’s #34 All-R-G formula. I also give them the #27 K-9 Liver Support simultaneously. Some of them seem to be allergic to herbs as well (which presents a bit of a conundrum) but for those that aren’t, it’s a wonderful solution. I also encourage the owners of these allergic dogs to try to clean up their diets.There are several raw food diets available commercially that are good (Primal, Nature’s Variety). The detoxification process takes some time so I usually give the herbs for at least a month or two before making any decisions about efficacy.
I have five dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sometimes something stirs them and they point their noses skyward and howl together. For all their modern modifications they still think they’re wolves.
