A Holistic Approach to Your Dog’s Skin Health and Flea Control
Share
Itching and flea-related skin issues are common in dogs. Itching at the tail base occurs because fleas gather here, causing discomfort. Using a flea comb and herbal products helps relieve itching, and a simple flea comb test with a damp paper towel can detect flea droppings. Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) affects dogs who overreact to flea saliva, causing severe itching. Herbal soaps and lotion bars soothe and manage these reactions. Generalized itching and odor from conditions like seborrhea can cause bacterial overgrowth, and improving gut health through diet helps address these root causes.
Gut health is the foundation of immune health, as about 70% of a dog's immune response starts in the gut. Poor gut health can trigger skin allergies and intolerances, and managing gut health eases the immune system's burden, improving skin health. Elimination diets are a useful tool to identify food intolerances, which are often more common than true allergies and can lead to itching, digestive issues, and ear infections. Steps for an elimination diet include choosing a novel protein such as possum, turkey, rabbit, or fish, avoiding common allergens like chicken, beef, dairy, wheat, soy, and fermented foods, sticking to the diet for 6 to 12 weeks, and slowly reintroducing proteins to identify triggers. Always consult a professional before using this diet for puppies.
