How Raw Feeding Can Help with Dog Allergies

If your dog struggles with allergies, a natural approach can often provide relief, especially if the issue stems from gut health. Many holistic veterinarians focus on supporting a dog’s gut and immune system to reduce allergic reactions and intolerances.

Here’s how raw feeding can help:

• Promotes Gut Health: A raw diet, paired with prebiotics, probiotics, and our Healthy Gut supplement, helps balance the beneficial bacteria in your dog's digestive system, essential for managing allergies. A healthy gut is key to supporting your dog's overall immunity and reducing allergic symptoms.
• Eliminates Inflammatory Ingredients: Processed foods like kibble often contain additives and preservatives that can trigger inflammation. Feeding a fresh, whole food raw diet gives you control over what your dog eats, minimizing exposure to potential allergens.
• Supports the Immune System: Along with raw feeding, immune-supporting supplements like medicinal mushrooms and colostrum can strengthen your dog’s immune system, helping them build resilience against allergens.
• Reduces Harmful Exposures: Avoiding unnecessary medications, like antibiotics and vaccinations, helps protect your dog's gut health. A raw diet complements this approach by promoting a balanced and natural immune system.
• Minimizes Stress: Good nutrition, including a raw diet, supports overall wellness and reduces the impact of stress on your dog’s immune system, further minimizing allergic reactions.

Additionally, if your dog’s allergies persist, you may want to consider trying an elimination diet. This involves feeding limited ingredients to pinpoint specific allergens. You can learn more about whether an elimination diet is right for your pet here.
