Great addition to my girls diet especially due to one having quite a few food and environmental allergies. I used to go to the vet monthly for Cytapoint injections and apart from being expensive, I wanted a natural alternative to see if that helped my dogs skin and gut issues.
It took 12 months of removing food, changing and adding to diet and then monitoring/observing environmental factors also, but with the support of Aussie Pooch and Roz from Australian Pet Nutrition, we have it sorted.
Don’t expect this to fix things overnight…. It’s not meant to. Our journey took about 8 months to figure out what was causing flare ups. Many things contributed to allergies of both my dogs but one has gut and environmental allergies and it is my job as their guardian to find out what it is. AP team are extremely helpful and we would be up the wahzoo without this in their daily diet.
Thanks AP and Dr Roz
