This is the most allergenic diet you can find as the molecules are reduced to the smallest amino acid. It is also formulated to support the skin\u2019s natural protective barrier for optimal skin health.<\/p>\n<p>The duration of a dermatologic dietary elimination trial is 6-8 weeks and ideally up to 12 weeks. In most cases, improvement occurs in the first 6\u20138 weeks while maximum improvement and resolution of<br \/>\nclinical signs may take 12 weeks or occasionally longer.<\/p>\n<p>Do not offer treats, snacks, human foods, flavored medications or foods to hide medications, flavored toothpaste or nutritional supplements during the dietary elimination trial.<\/p>\n<p>In cases of chronic disease, it may be necessary and beneficial to feed this diet for the rest of the pet\u2019s life or until other conditions require a dietary change.<\/p>\n<p>If there is improvement or resolution after the elimination diet, you may consider moving to an hydrolyzed diet (Royal Canin HP \/ Hills z\/d) or a novel protein diet (Royal Canin PD \/ Rayne Kangaroo-Maint or Rabbit-Maint \/ Hills d\/d)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet transition steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Measure what you are currently feeding in a standard measuring cup of the closest size (i.e. 1\/3 cup measuring cup). You will keep feeding this amount as the total as you go forward with transitioning over the next 5 to 10 days.<\/li>\n<li>For the first 2 days, put a layer of the new food in the bottom of the measuring cup, roughly 10%, then add the rest of the previous diet.<\/li>\n<li>For the next 2 days, fill the measuring cup 20% to 40% with the new food and fill with the previous diet.<\/li>\n<li>The following 2 days, fill the measuring cup 40% to 60% of the new food and fill with the previous diet.<\/li>\n<li>The following 2 days, fill the measuring cup 60% to 80% of the new food and fill with the previous diet.<\/li>\n<li>The following 2 days, fill the measuring cup 80% to 100% of the new food and fill with the previous diet.<\/li>\n<li>Then feed only the new diet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Omega 3s<\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Amber strongly suggest adding Omega 3s to your dog&#8217;s diet to promote healthy skin barrier.<\/p>\n<p>Certain dietary fats, typically from cold-water fish oils, have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. While this finding has primarily been used to treat itchy skin, many arthritic dogs and cats have also benefited from it. While there are no toxic issues to be concerned with, these products require at least one month to build up to adequate amounts. Effects are not always dramatic but can be helpful long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Introduce Omega-3&#8217;s in diet gradually. They can help with dry coat\/dandruff, support heart, liver, kidney, brain cognition, joints and minimize arthritis. Make sure to slowly work up to full dosage over a couple of weeks. If added into diet too quickly can cause loose stool.<\/p>\n<p>Caution about flax seed oil: It should be noted that flax seed oil is readily converted to omega-three fatty acids in the human body. This conversion is not so easy in the canine or feline body (only about 10 percent of the oil is converted). It is somewhat wasteful to add flax seed oil to pet food; fish oils are needed. Numerous brands are available and the chances are your veterinarian stocks one.<\/p>\n<h4>Shampoo Therapy<\/h4>\n<p>Shampoo therapy is one of the most recommended treatment by Doctor Amber for itchy skin. When you come for your pet&#8217;s consultation, you will most likely leave with a prescription medicamented shampoo.<\/p>\n<p>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/nakuspvet.ca\/index.php\/2025\/10\/21\/shampoo-therapy-for-itch-relief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other blog on shampoo therapy<\/a> for a complete guide on how to get the best results from this treatment.<\/p>\n<h4>Reducing Dust Mites<\/h4>\n<p>Dust Mites: Minimizing Exposure in Dogs and Cats &#8211; Veterinary Partner &#8211; VIN<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/veterinarypartner.vin.com\/default.aspx?pid=19239&amp;catId=254086&amp;id=4951977&amp;ind=11&amp;objTypeID=1007\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/veterinarypartner.vin.com\/default.aspx?pid=19239&amp;catId=254086&amp;id=4951977&amp;ind=11&amp;objTypeID=1007<\/a><\/p>\n<p>House dust mites are microscopic bugs that are in every homes, and some pets are allergic to them. A house dust mite allergy IS NOT a sign of a dirty home. Homes with carpeting will always have some dust mites.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips to reduce dust mites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They tend to accumulate more in mattress and beds, so if possible keep your pet off the bed.<\/li>\n<li>Feather pillows should not be used.<\/li>\n<li>Wash your pet&#8217;s bedding weekly and heat-dry if possible. If possible, replace bedding every 6 months.<\/li>\n<li>Stuff toys should be washed and heat-dried weekly.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, remove carpeting or wash area rugs weekly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Allergy Medication \/ Injection<\/h4>\n<p>If the above tips are not enough, you may need to add some allergy medication or injection like Cytopoint, Apoquel, Zenrelia.<\/p>\n<p>Zenrelia is the newest one on the block and is proving quite helpful with our patients who are prescribed it. It is a once a day tablet that blocks itch signals from reaching the dog&#8217;s brain., thus reducing the sensation of itch. The red and inflamed skin is soothe, and your dog&#8217;s itchiness goes back to the normal, occasional scratch.<\/p>\n<p>Apoquel is the pioneer of that treatment. It inhibits the function of a variety of cytokines involved in itch. These cytokines are responsible for pruritus, inflammation and allergic responses.<\/p>\n<p>Cytopoint is an injection that also blocks the main protein that sends signals that trigger itch. The injection can be given by our team or by you should you feel comfortable, and it lasts between 4 to 8 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; We recommend reading the following articles on Veterinary partners : Itching and Allergy in Dogs &#8211; Veterinary Partner &#8211; VIN https:\/\/veterinarypartner.vin.com\/default.aspx?pid=19239&amp;id=4952662 Allergies: Atopic Dermatitis in Dogs and Cats &#8211; Veterinary Partner &#8211; VIN https:\/\/veterinarypartner.vin.com\/default.aspx?pid=19239&amp;catId=254086&amp;id=4951475&amp;ind=6&amp;objTypeID=1007 Food Allergies in Dogs and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5726,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dogs","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
