Omg! I was giving jerky’s on hidrolyzed protein 😂 because he hates that food. So I have to give jerky’s with it. How can I do to make him eat it without jam or jerky’s? I’m in pain here, because he can stay 2 days straight without eating his food if I don’t give him what he likes and then he throws up and is worst.
When introducing the new protein after initial 6-12week hydrolyzed diet. Does the change need to be gradual over a preiod of a week? Untill they are eating only the protein we want to test?
Not a bad idea Nisha. I'll consider it. Life got away from me and I just started making new content so we'll see if I get to this. Thanks for the comment and subscribing!
My dog has severe allergies. We tested her blood and she happens to be allergic to everything they tested her on except potatoes. I am trying to find out a way to extend her options but I can't find info on what type of food is allergy-free 100% of the time or maybe a test that can test for a lot more items. Do you know of any?
Oof Frenchies and skin can be rough. No tall Frenchies have skin issues, but many do. Something that will help you and your vet is to really analyze when the itch began, where the primary itching spots are, and rating it on a scale from 1-10. It's very possible for a dog with a food sensitivity to also have a seasonal allergy, so perhaps you fixed it with the food but we've got something else. The other thing to consider is if there are any treats containing chicken. Hope you find a resolution!! My dachshund has seasonal allergies and allergies are no fun for people or pets.
Vegetables especially can make great treats and add fiber to the diet (green beans, carrots, cucumber). Fruits are pretty high in sugar content and some fruits (like grapes) can cause major issues. So in general I'd steer clear, though the occasional nibble of an apple piece (NO SEEDS), banana, or strawberry wouldn't hurt.
Great question, and it sort of depends. Food allergies don't generally present with nausea as a symptom but they could in theory. "Allergy" is a term that means the immune system is having an overreaction to an outside substance. Dogs can certainly get GERD (gastric reflux) and this can be an overreaction to something in the food. Small dogs can also have GERD when their stomachs are empty for too long, say if your dog spits up each morning. In those cases it can be nice to give them a small meal before bed so their stomachs don't sit empty for too long. I can't speak to individual cases so if there is a concern, check in with your vet and see what they think.
Another question for you, do you think recently introduced food proteins are no longer a viable option for a hypoallergenic detox? Does the protein have to be 100% novel? I just let my dog try cricket treats in the past month!
Interesting that most food allergies involve chicken yet the majority of specialized diets and home recipes for dogs with allergies contain chicken. 🤦🏻♀️
This seems to be a conundrum, but grains aren't the most common food allergy (though they can be!). "The most likely food allergens contributing to canine CAFRs are beef, dairy products, chicken, and wheat. The most common food allergens in cats are beef, fish and chicken." Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4710035/ But if a dog happens to have a grain or corn allergy, oh I am so sorry....that's a challenge
Dogs shouldn't consume grain, unless it's pre-digested by another animal which they killed, period. Grains trigger inflammatory drivers, that doesn't necessarily mean allergies, it can be a wide range of other health problems. I'd love to see your cherry picked study that grain free foods are linked to heart disease. Vets don't know a thing about nutrition or what a biologically appropriate diet is for dogs. You guys are clueless. The adverse effects of hydrolyzed protein include anxiety, asthma, attention deficit syndrome, bloating, burning sensations, carpel tunnel syndrome, chest pains, depression, diarrhea, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, infertility, insomnia, and heart diseases (Scopp, 1991). Funny how you have concerns with a grain free diet but the only concern about hydrolyzed protein is the cost huh? You're a sellout / shill. Maybe if you guys stopped over-prescribing antibiotics for every little thing then allergies and other autoimmune diseases wouldn't be so prevalent.
Thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts! I would say vets know quite a bit about nutrition, though certainly not everything as we aren't specialists. There are actually veterinary nutrition specialists we can turn to who help us formulate homemade diets when owners request. Vets take thorough nutrition courses in veterinary school (granted a lot was focused on large animal as cows, horses, poultry, etc, require more intensive nutritional research). The adverse effects you mention are the first result of a google search when looking for "hydrolyzed proteins bad" and actually come from a paper concerning MSG in humans from over 3 decades ago published in the Headache journal located here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2030071/ I would say that's not really relevant for our K9 friends. I think the cost of hydrolyzed protein diets is outrageous and wish there were alternatives. No food company has ever given me anything more than a free dinner to learn about their products. It would take more than free food for me to adopt everything they suggest.....and I still make no money from this channel. As to antibiotics, antibiotic-resistance is a HUGE concern for which we are thoroughly well-versed from school. I can't tell you how many times I've told owners, "No I can't just give you x, y, z medication because they don't need it right now and if I do we will run into an infection I won't be able to treat," or something along those lines. I'll freely admit the veterinarians of a few generations back overprescribed antibiotics and I worked with a few I attempted to explain why that's a bad idea, but hard to teach an old dog new tricks. No animosity here, just wanted to clarify. People are rightfully passionate about their pets and I'm not suggesting otherwise. Simply providing facts on what we know.
I feed my dog on fresh raw meats and tripe and fresh fruit and veg. I try to give him the best I can. No carbs are any good for dogs and are simple not required by a dog. That’s apart from the inflammation issues and weight gain it causes. Sadly I see people with their pets who are diabetic and the vet puts them on a lovely kibble diet rich in carbs and other rubbish. The owner often is clueless as they thick the vet has put them on a special diet for this. Makes me very sad. Dogs and kibble….REALLY……dogs are carnivores! No wonder the amount of health problems dogs get as well as the poor cats who are obligate carnivores ….. Carbs and diabetes what a great combination……!! I wounded who teaches the vets? So much crap in the food……

Thank you life saver
Can you please make a video on the steps to be followed and timeline to proceed with each step for elimination method? New subscriber here 👍

What about turkey meat? Is it good for dogs? What do you think about benadryl, zantac, claritin? Thank you so much.
If my dog is not middle age but 1 and a half and is having these issues, does it make a difference as far as a diet trial goes?

My 7 month old American Bully has itching with her paws, ears and legs.
Hello. Did you figure it out with your pup?
What about treats like fruits/vegetables? Banana/strawberries/cucumber/carrots ?
Vegetables especially can make great treats and add fiber to the diet (green beans, carrots, cucumber). Fruits are pretty high in sugar content and some fruits (like grapes) can cause major issues. So in general I'd steer clear, though the occasional nibble of an apple piece (NO SEEDS), banana, or strawberry wouldn't hurt.
Can we give vegetable based treats? Like carob etc?
Same question here
dehydrate meat. that's a snack for a dog.
I was Ina diet for 3 weeks they got worse so I let it go , & figured it was environmental

What do you think of those bio-resonance hair testing kits? Ridiculous?
Thank you off brand Tom Holland
What if the dog is not even a year old and is itchy and biting and scratching?
Probaly seasonal
This is what I did and my dog's allergies are gone. I give my dog 3-4 tablespoons of kefir in her food. I feed her Taste of the Wild

Kibble with grain: skin allergy
Grain free food: heart problem
🤦🤷

Every dog is different, mine is allergic to animal protein.
