Hi I'm Dan Scott canine nutrition and home remedy specialist, and in this video
I'll talk about how to use Quercetin to stop your dog seasonal allergies, the
difference between symptoms of seasonal and food allergies so you're not
treating the wrong health problem and what you can do to boost your dog's
health to restore great health and stop allergy complaints.
Before we begin it's important to know which type of allergy your dog is suffering from.
There's two types of allergies food allergies and environmental allergies.
Your don't could have a food allergy which frequently breaks out as itchiness,
breathing problems and possibly gastrointestinal issues like upset
stomach resulting in vomiting, diarrhea and foul gas. Common food allergens
contain wheat soy and corn. The trouble could also be a large amount of yeast,
many times dogs are diagnosed with allergies when in fact they're suffering
from a systemic yeast infection which lives in the gut. And your dog's gut is
where 80 to 90% of their immune system lives. Later I'll discuss what you can do
about solving these problems and gastrointestinal issues. Environmental
allergies come from the following: grasses, various flowers pollens
trees, weed pollens, mold spores, dust, dust mites, lawn care products, household
cleaners, insect repellents and prescription drugs. Dogs and
environmental allergies are a match made in frustration hell, particularly in the
summer when the symptoms are at their worst. There's not much worse than
watching your dog scratched like there's no tomorrow
it simply makes you feel bad for them and frustrated because you've been to
the vet how many times for antibiotics, steroid cream and within weeks the
allergies are back along with a further compromised immune system. An allegy is an
unusual response from the immune system.
Allergens in the environment cause the
body to react when inhaled, eaten or they settle on the skin. Your dog's body is
having a reaction to the environment as it tries to resolve these unwanted
allergens. Does your dog have any type of the following symptoms: runny nose and
sneezing, yeasty gunk years that may be inflamed,
wet red eczema covered skin and smell, runny eyes and redness producing excess
goo, excess scratching and general itchiness, excess chewing and licking and
breathing problems. Your dogs body will release what's called histamines as a
response to the allergens and that's what's causing the problems. The solution
and one that's a natural plant-based compound is Quercetin which is a
flavonoid extracted from the peelings of different fruits and vegetables. They
have a powerful anti-inflammatory and antihistamine effect as well as being
great as an antioxidant. Quercetin turns off the histamine effects that cause
inflammation redness and irritation and it will help to reduce itching and
breathing problems. Quercetin supplements are available in
pale and capsule form and often it comes combined with bromelain which helps to
the bioavailability of the Quercetin. Bromelain is also an enzyme that also helps
inhibit histamine. A good minimal starting dose is 50 milligrams for 10
pounds of lean dog weight. It's best to get the veggie capsules so you can break
them open to dose your dog the correct amount each day. The capsules
generally come in 500 milligram size. You'll get the best benefit by splitting the
dose in half and giving twice daily for round-the-clock protection. For 10 to 20
pound dog give 50 to 100 milligrams a day, for 30 to 40 pound dog give 150 to
200 milligrams a day and for a 50 to 100 pound dog give 250 to 500 milligrams
daily. Quercetin is very safe at these doses, you could go much higher and still
be just fine. If you don't doesn't get the expected relief within a week, raise
the dose by 50%, don't use Quercetin on going just when
you need it during allergy season or when symptoms flare up. For pregnant and
lactating dogs or dogs on current medications it's advisable to check with
your vet before supplementing, and I'll leave a link to the best source of
Quercetin in the description below. To restore your
dog's health longer-term and to avoid the curse of so many day-to-day chronic
health problems is to boost your dog's current kibble diet because it's diet
that leads to so many dog health problems,
in fact nine out of ten chronic dog health problems are directly related to
the diet they consume, that's why I created the Healthier Kibble Diet as part
of an ebook Feed Your Dog Better to help kibble feeding dog owners reclaim their
dog's health from the persistent health problems like allergies that plague so
many dogs. I found very little help out there for dog owners feeding a kibble
only diet so from my 15 years of canine nutrition knowledge I created a diet
that in essence helps you know the right combination of supplements to add as a
topper to your dog's kibble meals to boost the nutritional content of the
food and have them eager to eat their meals every day. This changes things
dramatically for your dog simply by adding some essential extras your dog
instinctively knows it's good to eat and once added, diarrhea, allergies and
infections begin to heal quickly or other day-to-day chronic conditions such
as skin and coat problems, arthritis and poor digestion begin to fade fast. It does
this by strengthening your dogs immune system to speed up healing and
prevent future illness. The sensitivity your dog's system goes way down and
they'll feel so much better as you'll quickly notice. It works wonders for dogs
with seasonal allergies and within days you'll see the improvements. This is a
great diet for the kibble feeder because it saves money as veterinary costs are cut
in half over time that's proven from over six years of testing and you'll
find a link below to a video explaining more about the Healthier Kibble Diet. Stop
the situation from turning into a never-ending cycle, do the best for your
dog and switch their diet up a little with the Healthier kibble Diet. A dog
of any age can start on the Healthier Kibble Diet and as the new additions to
the kibble meal set to work healing your dog you'll see a big reduction of many
of your dog's current health problems quickly. This not only brings a better
quality of life to your dog, you'll no longer have to deal with the endless
trips to the vet, expensive medications and expensive vet bills. Check out the
