I would like to know if I should change my dogs diet to raw since he has really bad allergies?|||my mom did that with her dog and it worked like a charm. the downside: your dog will smell SOOOO bad.|||It depends on what is causing the allergy, Many dogs that go raw do exceptionally well getting rid of a host of allergies and have their behaviour change for the better. The important thing if you are going to do this is to make sure that you do so with a canine nutritionist. The balance is the part that needs to be tweeked based on individual animal and that can take a bit of time. Most vets don't recommend this diet as a lot of people do not take care in getting proper meat sources and handle the meat sources incorrectly. Best of luck! Hope your pup feels better|||Do you know what the cause of it is? It is important to determine why your dog is suffering from Allergic Dermatitis. If you are unsure of what is possible, this link could be a helpful read: http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/itch.htm鈥?/a> (This site however, is solely dependent on veterinary opinion. Having dealt with very murderous and close-minded vets, so to speak, I have come to the understanding that you should research and evaluate their opinions yourself before relying on them to make choices for you.) If the allergy is food induced, there is a test that can be done through a veterinarian, (there should be no risk there) which involves finding out specific ingredients your dog may not be responding well to...it may be worth it to find out what exactly it is. Many dogs don't handle grains very well, so depending on what the source is, yes, raw food can help alleviate the problem. There are other benefits to the raw diet that ought to be considered too. Please note that the majority of vets do not support raw feeding. (You're going to have to do some research in this method of feeding yourself, if you haven't done so already.) Bathing less frequently, or refraining from doing anything that might further stimulate your dog's skin should bring some relief from the itching. I hope he feels better soon!|||Yes, it is GREAT for dogs with allergies, not only because you eliminate all the fillers in commercial dog food, but you can feed one thing at a time and determine exactly what your dog is allergic to. Here are some sites to help get you started. http://www.rawfeddogs.net/ http://www.rawlearning.com/rawfaq.html|||Do you know if the allergies are food related? What does your vet recommend? I wouldn't change anything until he gets tested for type of allergy. You could do more harm than good.
