If your dog or cat is dealing with pain or inflammation, there are several natural options I would consider. Interestingly, they are the same types of remedies I reached for after a bike crash left me with a sore knee wound, bruising, soft tissue inflammation, and plenty of pain even 10 days later.

🚨 ITCHY PET? STOP GUESSING. DO A REAL FOOD TRIAL.

Most pet parents with an itchy dog or cat have not actually done a true food trial.

Switching brands is not a food trial.
Trying “sensitive skin” kibble is not a food trial.
Removing chicken for 4 days while still giving treats? Also not a food trial.

A real food trial means ONE special diet, and nothing else, long enough to see if symptoms improve.

Food allergies happen when the immune system reacts to something in the diet, usually a protein. Common dog triggers include dairy, beef, chicken, eggs, soy, and wheat gluten. For cats, beef, fish, chicken, and dairy are common suspects.

Up to 15% of dogs and cats may have a food allergy, so if your pet has chronic itching, paw licking, ear infections, inflamed skin, or recurring digestive upset, it is worth ruling out properly.

Why not just test?
Because many blood, saliva, and hair “food allergy tests” are not reliable. The gold standard is still an elimination diet trial. Not glamorous. Not fancy. But useful.

How to do it right:

1. Choose the trial diet
2. Use either a veterinary hydrolyzed protein diet or a simple homemade diet using ingredients your pet has not eaten before.
3. Remove everything else
4. No treats. No table scraps. No chews. No flavored vitamins. No flavored supplements. No “just one bite.”

One tiny treat can confuse the whole trial. Your dog may look betrayed. Stay strong.

Feed it long enough
Dogs: minimum 6 weeks, ideally 12 weeks.
Cats: minimum 8 weeks, ideally 12 weeks.

Track symptoms
Watch itching, licking, chewing, red skin, ear inflammation, hair loss, stool quality, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Do the food challenge
If symptoms improve, reintroduce the old food. If symptoms return within one week, that confirms food allergy.

During the trial, support inflammation too. My go-to options include omega-3 fatty acids, quercetin, nettle, CBD, and short-term licorice root when needed. Omega-3s from krill oil are one of my favorites for itchy, inflamed skin.

Simple. Strict. Very helpful.

If your pet is still itchy, could the missing step be a proper food trial?

Heartworm is one of those diseases I really do not want dog owners underestimating.

It is spread by mosquitoes, it can become very serious, and it is now being seen in more places than many people realize.

If you live in a high-risk area, I would be looking hard at prevention. If you do not, then at the very least, I would be doing everything I can to reduce mosquito exposure.

If your dog keeps getting the same red, itchy, waxy ear infection, this is worth knowing.

Sometimes the problem is not that you picked the wrong product or used it wrong.

Sometimes the yeast has become resistant to the usual antifungal meds.

Resistant yeast ear infections in dogs can make miconazole drops fail. Try green tea + ACV, garlic olive oil, HOCl, and allergy support (omega-3, quercetin).
