Anti histamines and allergies

In the world we live in, our pets can come into contact with so much.  the shorter coated breeds skin comes in contact more than longer coated of course it makes common sense.  In some respects its great because we know the moment our dogs got hives or bites.  But the down side is being short coated its more likely to have a reaction as the hair hasn't stopped the touching of the skin.

Now with every short coated breed of dog the way to help if its having a reaction to an insect or plant is antihistamine. Every medical box should have some piraton in. 

It can however go deeper as some breeds are allergic to food groups, and do require more than just an antihistamine.  

It is the build up of histamine in the skin of a dog from pollen and pollution which causes Mast Cell Tumours.  A dog maybe predisposed to have MCT but the trigger is outside influences and after reading much research the view is taking away the dogs hormone from it too early or at all can cause MAST cells in the skin.   MCT is not common in one breed of dog, they are seen in every single dog on the planet now.  The build up of toxins in the skin causes outbreaks.

So is their anything you can do for your dog?  The answer is don't neuter your dog.  Or wait until its an adult dog, so not before 3 years of age.   Some breeds I would even urge caution at 3. 

Give your dog a natural holistic approach diet.  So raw healthy foods with anti toxins in.  Blue berries are wonder for this. Give your dog supplements to give it the best chance ever.  Omega three oils, feed your dog oily fish a few times a week. Cut out red meats. Add in Irish moss into the diet, and querticin which are great for removal of toxins.  Give your dog also some milk thistle powder.  Try not giving any vaccines, wormers or flea treatments.   The more we interfere with animals the more we see outcomes of illness.   With all the good will in the world we think we are helping our pets, and it can be the exact opposite.   So use natural foods, natural veg, fruit.  Even better if its organic.   Give the dog eggs in the diet, shells, and keep a record of any reactions which have a common break out.

Wash your dogs fur down if you have been running it in crops where poisons could of been sprayed.  Or try and keep away from spayed areas.   I know this may all sound little bit OTT.But in the long run it will help keep your pet healthier.  The air we breathe is sadly full of toxins from the house hold. We don't even think about it.  

We recently had someone contact us to tell us they lost their Weimaraner aged 18. I could not believe it, and I was gob smacked.  The dog had lived a very healthy lifestyle. 

Their is a dog in Portugal called Bobby who is 30 years old.  Dr Karen Becker and Dr Rodney JHabib are studying this doing to see why this could possibly be the oldest dog in the world.  They found out it is the oldest dog in the world. The conclusions was diet, the dog ate from the gardens herbs, and healthy foods grown direct and food in season. Never flea treated or wormed, and never had a vaccine.  

So lets just take a few moments to think do we want a dog that's unhealthy or healthy ?

Do not be bullied by those in a profession which clearly do not have the dogs best interests at heart.  We live in a world where money propels us in our way of thought.  This is sad.  

But certainly keep antihistamine in your medical box.  Use holistic antihistamine in dogs which are itchy, allergic and have food allergies.  Don't forget Irish moss.
