What is the cause of pet allergies? Once you know this, the treatment is easy. But, if you don’t know the cause, then the treatment is, at best a band aid, at worse, will further deteriorate your pet’s immune system.
Let me tell you why this is the case.
If you are driving down the highway and your red oil warning light comes on, what do you do?
You have two options.
The first one is that you can stop and get help to find the cause of the problem. This can be inconvenient and take time.
The other option is to keep driving, hoping for the best. It may be nothing, in which case you get to your destination on time. But it may be serious, in which case your engine may seize a few kilometres down the road, causing you much more inconvenience, lost time and much more money.
So finding the cause of an allergy in your pet is going to help bring back their overall health to how it was or more likely better, than before the allergies started.
Any illness, including allergies, are a sign of a compromised immune system. If your pet has a strong immunity, they will be healthy and able to throw off even the most serious virus, bacteria or other pathogen.
One of the most important areas that can easily compromise an immune system and so create pet allergies, is the food your feed your pet.
Even the ‘best’ processed pet food is very low grade, very nutrient poor, so your pet is likely to be deficient in many of the most essential nutrients.
Processed pet food consists of high fat, waste meat by-products, road kill and more that you probably don’t want to know about. Then a cheap filler is used to bulk out the food. Then toxic preservatives, which are not allowed in human food, are used to give the ‘food’ a long shelf life.
Packets look great, but its the contents you need to know about.
By feeding your pet good quality (human grade) raw food, you are instantly giving their immune system a boost.
Treating pet allergies from the cause up, means less hassle in the long run, less expense and a much happier pet.
