Kelp is also often added to commercial dry and canned dog food as a thickening agent. High-quality dehydrated, raw, and freeze-dried foods often use kelp powder to introduce trace minerals into their recipes.

Given how often kelp is used in both human and dog diets, it is safe to say that kelp is safe for dogs. However, how safe it is depends on how much your dog consumes. Their general health and the quality of the kelp supplement also play a notable role in how safe kelp supplementation truly is. ➡️ https://blog.ultimatedog.com/nutritional-powerhouse-kelp-for-dogs/

If your dog suffers from itchy skin, red paws, and constant discomfort from atopic dermatitis or allergic dermatitis, you aren’t alone. Pruritus, which is the blanket term for this kind of itchy reaction, affects 30% of all dogs.

Given how common and insufferable it is, it's no wonder drug companies are constantly advertising the next miracle cure for pruritus. The most recent company to have made this claim is Zoetis, with their newest atopic dermatitis treatment, Cytopoint.

They claim this drug is different (in fact, they claim it isn’t even a drug!). But is Cytopoint really the miracle vets and the drug reps who educate them say it is? Or is it just another dangerous pruritus treatment that masks symptoms while throwing the body out of whack?

Before you consider which natural remedy to use for your dog’s allergies, you first have to establish if your dog is indeed suffering from an allergy. The symptoms of allergies can often be similar to those caused by other conditions.

Of course, for prolonged or severe allergic symptoms, we would always recommend consulting with your vet. If you are keen to have a more natural approach to treatment, then you should visit a certified holistic vet. This kind of vet combines conventional treatments with alternative therapies.

Allergy symptoms can include skin irritation, bacterial infections, a runny nose, sneezing, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal issues.

You can begin to socialize your puppy at any age; but the earlier you start, the better.

Most new puppy owners will bring their little pooch home around the age of 8 weeks. This age marks the beginning of a crucial time in your puppy’s social development. Between the ages of 8 and 16 weeks, your puppy is absorbing all the information and stimulation around them like a little furry sponge – assembling a picture of the world, what it all means and how they should interact with it.

The first steps to helping your dog overcome a UTI are to provide plenty of clean, fresh water and to assure they have free access to the outdoors to urinate as needed. Both dehydration and holding urine in the bladder can give the infection time to establish and travel farther up the urinary tract.

In dogs, the most common form of Atopica comes in capsule form. Giving the capsules with food can help reduce nausea, a common side effect.

Importantly, Atopica should not be directly handled. Gloves are recommended for administration, and hands should be washed promptly after handling. When cyclosporine-containing medications are administered to humans in hospitals, a number of precautions are taken, including the use of gloves and protective gear to reduce the likelihood of skin contact.

Atopica carries a relatively high risk of side effects compared to many common medications. These include a range of common side effects as well as some less common, more severe effects.

Apoquel is a drug created by Zoetis for dogs with atopic and allergic dermatitis. Its main claim to fame is the unique way of stopping inflammation and allergic reactions by altering the immune system. It’s approved by the FDA for use in dogs and is currently the only drug in veterinary medicine with this mode of action. Many dogs are put on this medication to alleviate their dermatitis symptoms, mainly severe itching. Should the drug help, the dog might need to stay on it for a long time. But how safe is that?

Scratching, licking, inflamed skin – if your dog is suffering from atopic dermatitis, you are battling these symptoms on a daily basis. Caused by allergies, there are several clinical treatment options available for this condition. Immunotherapy (allergy shots), antihistamines, and steroids are among those most commonly prescribed. Unfortunately, these options aren't ideal for many dog owners – sometimes, the side effects alone can be worse than the original symptoms.
