Why Chicken Often Triggers Reactions When the Gut Is Out of Balance

"Many dogs seem “allergic” to chicken, but in most cases it isn’t a true allergy — it’s a gut imbalance.

When the microbiome isn’t working properly, the gut wall becomes more permeable and the body overreacts to normal foods.
What happens,
Chicken contains a natural protein called serum albumin (Gal d 5).
It can irritate the immune system when the gut barrier is weakened.
Even though cooking reduces its activity, some sensitive dogs still react.

Chicken also has more omega-6 fats than other meats.
In a healthy dog these are harmless, but in dysbiosis they can fuel inflammation and itching.

When beneficial bacteria like Clostridium hiranonis, Faecalibacterium, and Lactobacillus are low, the gut can’t break proteins down fully — so small fragments “leak” through and confuse the immune system.The result
Red skin, paw-licking, and tummy discomfort after chicken is because the gut isn’t coping.

The good news
Once the microbiome is rebuilt and the gut wall heals, most dogs can enjoy chicken again with no reaction.That’s why our focus is always to restore balance first, not remove foods forever.

The great news is that the Biome4pets report will soon include 20 biomarkers for protein intolerances, developed from our own database of 1,000's of dogs."

* My add to this -
If the chicken being consumed (imagine for every single meal ... yikes) has been fed crops that have been sprayed with glyphosate, that ingested residual glyphosate helps to create more inflammation and more gut biome colony disruptions. High heat processing will NOT remove glyphosate from the animal protein being ingested. Opt for feeding free range chickens who have been organically fed and raised to reduce gut microbiome disruption*

New peer-reviewed study, and the first scientific proof, shows dogs sleep better when they’re close to the people they love. Researchers found dogs took longer to relax, tossing and turning more and had poorer sleep quality when their human was gone. Your presence helps them relax, fall asleep faster, and rest more deeply especially in new or stressful environments.

The study found:
• Dogs fell asleep faster when their owner was in the room.
• They slept more deeply (more time in non-REM or “deep” sleep).
• Their sleep was more efficient — meaning less tossing and turning.
• When the owner was gone, dogs took longer to relax and had poorer sleep quality.
• These results suggest that dogs feel safer and more relaxed when near their humans, even during sleep.

Day 2 of Hormone Health for Dogs free video series is here! Thank you to everyone who’s already watching and sharing the link (in comments).

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can still jump in anytime — Episode 1 is free and streaming now.

Today’s reminder: many dogs don’t slow down because they’re “just getting older.” Hormones play a huge role in their energy, mood, and vitality — especially for spayed and neutered dogs.

If your dog has been acting a little off, this series can help you understand why.

Episode 1 is still available.

Rundown Ranch Cattle Dogs, LLC

We have been raising Australian Cattle Dogs since 1998. Unfortunately we found that most of the Cattle Dogs in our area have health problems due to poor breeding and decided that we wanted to change that.

We have spent a significant amount of time seeking out the best kennels across the nation. We make sure that our breeding stock have good blood lines and are fully health tested. It is important to us that we raise beautiful healthy dogs with good personalities and working drive. Even if you are not looking for a working dog, it should still have the right traits and drive.

All of our dogs are treated like family and are handled daily. We take a little bit different approach to feeding and healthcare than most breeders. We don’t just look at the cost of care, we look at the quality first and foremost. All of our dogs are insured through Trupanion and each puppy from a litter will come with limited benefits.

Here at the Rundown Ranch we only feed raw diets once the puppy reaches 12 months of age. During the transition from mother’s milk to raw, we feed a combination of a top quality natural kibble and raw food. Even their treats and bones are important. We found a quality commercial treat that consists of only 5 natural ingredients with no colors or fillers. And you can always find a raw beef bone or two (or three or more) laying around for them to gnaw. Bones provide important nutrients from the marrow and help keep their teeth clean and white. They also help prevent chewing on the wrong things. Like people, dogs need additional vitamins and supplements. Cattle dogs are active and require joint care from an early age to minimize arthritis and joint related issues. We regularly do blood work to monitor their overall health. Our dogs are in excellent condition and it shows in their coats and annual exams.
