Guidance and In-Depth, Vet-Guided Protocol for Pet Allergies

In-Depth Allergy Protocol

We highly recommend the below Allergy Protocol based on the guidance of Dr. Judy Morgan DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT who has expanded her veterinary knowledge base with certifications and expertise in holistic pet nutrition and beyond: 

1. Run Diagnostics

Hair and saliva sample tests; more affordable and fast-tracking elimination diets and other variables.
Five Strands, Ucari, and Nutriscan are a few. More affordable than full allergy blood panels, these can greatly aid in quickening a food elimination plan.
Mineral and metal testing for your pup
- Drinking Water testing 

 

2. Upgrade the Diet

- High meat, high moisture
- Start with a cooling, novel protein like Rabbit, Pork or Duck
- Whole food ingredients
- Minimize synthetic additives

 

3. Pick a helpful additive (individually or in blends)

Reishi (in Woof Creek's Immunity + Allergy)
Colostrum (in Woof Creek's Immunity + Allergy)

 

4. Repair the Gut

 

5. Address environmental exposure

- Wash paws with a 2:1 mixture of filtered water and apple cider vinegar
- Naturally medicated and/or Thera-Clean baths
- Add a natural flea/tick preventative topical sprays from Woof Creek, Kin + Kind or Wondercide.

 

6. Reduce or eliminate

- Any unnecessary medications (antibiotics and steroids)
- Flea & Tick chemicals (replace with a natural consumable repellant/skin-health support like Woof Creek's All-Natural Powder Superfood Blends to add to mealtime.)
- Heartworm chemicals (by adding natural herbal anti-parasitic, boosting immunity, and following integrative veterinary guidance on the 45-day preventative, Interceptor.)
- Immune suppressants like Cytopoint, Apoquel, or Atopica

 

The above 6 steps are aimed to resolve the core source of presentations in your beloved pets. While constraints on budget and time are indeed realistic considerations, the benefits and real relief found for pets is so worth it. If only some of the above steps can be tried and utilized, as we can only realistically do what is within our capacity, then you will still be taking leaps toward your pet's balance and wellness.

If only one of the above steps, which one?

Diet! This article by Dr. Judy Morgan DVM further details the importance that addressing dietary problems plays in providing your pets' allergy relief and:

- Explore this course from Dr. Judy Morgan DVM for homemaking your pets' meals.

- Go to your local natural pet store and inquire about gently cooked or raw food options made of limited, clean ingredients for facultative carnivores (dogs) or obligate carnivores (cats).

- How exactly do you transition? Here are methods to choose from as explained by Dr. Katie Woodley DVM, another trusted integrative veterinarian with nutrtion expertise. She details the transition options for every age and sensitivity level of pet.

- Woof Creek co-founders, Lisa and Chef Scot Hill, feeds their fur family a homemade raw complete-and-balanced diet of a variety/rotation of high quality proteins and organs, with 5-10% green veggies and dark berries. We also will use a few trusted commercially prepared raw brands (from our local natural pet store) such as OC Raw and Small Batch. Remember, every pet is different, and you must explore what works best for you and your fur family.

What Woof Creek Offers to Our Fellow Pet Parent Community

For allergies, we offer our Immunity + Allergy Support Essential Meal Topper (for cats + dogs) combined with our Gut + Digestion Essential Meal Topper (for dogs) for maximum immune system support: This our Allergy Bundle (for dogs) and this Bundle is for both cats + dogs.

The image displayed in this article, of Milo the white fur boi, had severe hot spots when we met him. His parents already had him on a clean, dog-specific raw diet, but needed next level tools for him. After starting Woof Creek's allergy bundle, his parents reported vast improvement in his skin presentations within days, then complete relief within 2 weeks. He is now on a rotational half-measurement regiment to maintain core balance.

For further customized support for your beloved pet, we can offer consultation specific to your dog or cat's situation. Initial or in-depth consultation options can be found herehttps://www.woofcreek.com/pages/pet-wellness-consultation
