Relief From Allergy Induced Ear Infections For Dogs

Here we go, allergy time again, but allergy season is all the time really. Dogs, like humans, are susceptible to allergy induced reactions, specifically ear infections. Dogs can have environmental or food allergies. Experimentation is the only way to find out which underlies your dog's problems.

Ruling out a food allergy is actually a little bit of an undertaking, but well worth the effort if you find that your dog is allergic to one of the main food products you have been feeding for years. If you are curious about how to do this, take a look at http://dogtorj.tripod.com/id38.html to see exactly how to implement an elimination diet. Once your dog is eating a limited ingredient diet--one protein and one carbohydrate--you can add back one ingredient at a time and evaluate your dog's reactions. It takes awhile to conduct this process, but your dog will benefit greatly once you know exactly what ingredient is the allergen. Usually, one of these eight ingredients will be the problem--corn, wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, beef, chicken or pork. It is easy these days to find hypoallergenic, limited ingredient dog foods online and in pet stores.

If food isn't the issue, then you will need to assume it is something in your dog's environment. What can you do about that? Regular ear cleaning can help stop those nasty ear infections in their tracks. You needs some basic ingredients and a cooperative dog to get the job done.
