Pet Allergies And Finding The Cause Of Them

Pet allergies are on the increase. You may well ask why. And you may well ask how to deal with them, so your pet recovers from them completely.

Getting to the cause of any problem makes for the best solution. Patching up the signs and symptoms, isn’t getting to the cause. And pet allergies are a warning sign that all is not well with your pet.

Let me give you an analogy. Suppose you are driving down the freeway and your red oil warning light comes on.

You have two choices. You can stop and get help to see what the cause may be. This can be time consuming and inconvenient.

Or you can keep driving and hope the problem is not serious. If it is, your engine is likely to seize a few miles down the road. This will cost you much more in inconvenience, time and money.

The same goes with health.

A healthy immune system shrugs off any disease or illness. A compromised immune system tends to allow anything and everything to attack.

So, if your pet’s immune system is compromised, ask your self why. And once you know that, you can deal with it.

One of the most common things your pet does is to eat. If you are feeding your pet a commercial, processed pet food this could be the cause of the problem.

Why?

Because processed pet food is nutrient poor. It consists of low grade meat (fat, road kill, waste from fast food outlets, rejects for human consumption and a lot you’d probably rather not know about). This is then padded out with a cheap filler, such as sugar or melamine or crushed nut shells.

And that’s the base of your pets ‘food’. Now add some toxic preservatives, that aren’t allowed in human food, but allows for a long shelf life.

Does this diet seem to be a good one for a healthy pet?

Compare that with a quality, raw (human grade) meat and bones diet. Do you think you pet’s immune system will be more healthy on this diet? Do you think pet allergies would be common, if fed such a diet?
