Dr. Greg Martinez, author of “Dog Dish Diet,” describes some of his philosophies, on the “My Doggie Says…” show.
Here is a sampling of how Dr. Greg things about a dog’s diet:
“I have found that all animals with allergic tendencies are helped if allergic ingredients are avoided and healthy oils are added to their diet. I have had dogs that have allergies to pollens, molds, and grasses improve with a better diet with omega oils added. Dry skin wants to react if given a chance, whereas nourished healthy skin resists inflammation. Rashes, hives, and staph infection are less likely to occur if the skin is healthy. How do you make the skin healthy? Avoid allergens, feed a variety of healthy ingredients, and add omega oils with canola, olive, and fish oil. Dogs with hay fever or atopy may still need other testing and treatment, but avoiding food allergens is easy, and very rewarding if it works.”
