Healthy cats and dogs are not itchy, smelly, flaky or constantly trying to scratch or bite at their fur. If your pet is displaying any of these tell-tale signals, it's a major sign that something is out of balance in their system.
When all systems in your pet's body are humming along in balance, their skin, eyes, ears, and digestive system are protected by their immune substances (IgA). In other words, your dog and cat feel good.
In a healthy animal (dog, cat, or human) normal inhabitants of the skin coexist in harmony, each doing their jobs and living their lives in a symbiotic relationship.
If an animal's immune system is under more stress than it can manage, this symbiotic relationship can fall out of balance and skin problems -- hot spots, rashes, yeast overgrowth and bacterial infections -- can result.
Conventional medical intervention includes antihistamines, antibiotics, and steroids. All of these medications modify and suppress the immune system, and although sometimes required, your goal should be to help your pet's immune system work properly, not to suppress it.
With species-appropriate nutrition, appropriate bathing and proper exercise, many animals regain their health and thrive without drugs.
