Identifying the problem and offering solutions
Herbal relief for dog allergies is being more widely used every day. Many dogs suffer terribly from allergen response. Allergic symptoms are the result of the body’s negative response to allergens. Herbs can help maintain the body’s healthy, normal and natural response to allergens.
Dog allergies may be seasonal and even food born. Signs of seasonal allergies are sneezing, coughing, runny eyes, yeast infections, and excessive mucous. Seasonal and food allergies can show up as skin irritations like rashes and hot spots or even excessive licking. If you suspect a food allergy you may want to try an elimination diet to find specifically what your dog is allergic to or offer a new diet free of grains, like wheat and corn, and even dairy.
