Dog Skin IrritationsEliminate dog skin irritations from the inside out. Strengthening your dog's immune system is the key to reducing skin problems in your dog!
There are many different things that can cause skin irritations in dogs.
Poor dog skin conditions can cause a great deal of discomfort and stress to our dog. It is important therefore that we do everything we can to eliminate the factors
that may cause our dog skin irritations.
Just like our skin, a dog's skin has great responsibilities: it protects the body from outside toxins, germs, hazards, etc., and it also helps eliminate wastes and
toxins from inside the body.
Many holistic veterinarians stress the importance of caring for the skin from the "inside" as well as the "outside". If a dog is healthy, has a strong and balanced
immune system, he is less prone to develop skin irritations. According to homeopathic theory, diseases always manifest themselves from the outside first. Simply put,
if there is something wrong with a dog (or other animals for that matter), usually we will first notice something wrong with his skin. For example, he will develop
itchy skin, or suffer from hair loss, or his coat will become dull or dry. It follows therefore that if we want our dog to have a nice coat, we have to make sure
that his "inside" is nice and healthy as well.
Another implication to this theory is that, when our dog develops skin problems, we should not use drugs to just suppress the local skin symptoms, for by so doing, we
are overlooking the "big picture" - we are not dealing with the truly dangerous underlying chronic health problem that is festering inside. Also, most certainly the
localized dog skin irritations will re-surface in the future, usually in a more nasty way.

Eliminating Dog Skin Irritations from the Inside OutSo what can we do to care for our dog's skin from the "inside"? How can we eliminate the causes of dog skin irritations? Here are some suggestions:
As you can see, there are numerous simple ways that we can do to help our dogs build up their stamina and boost their immune system so that they are less susceptible to skin problems. In the unfortunate event that our dogs develop skin diseases, I do believe that we can still use milder, more natural, and less intrusive ways to deal with the problems.
