DOGGY SMELL? Your sense of smell can tell you a lot about the health of your dog. A healthy dog should have a fresh, almost sweet smell to the coat and skin. This is particularly noticeable in dogs fed on lots of fresh vegetables and raw bones. An offensive doggy odour is the result of a diet (usually dry food) too high in carbohydrate and simple sugars. Excess carbohydrate breaks down into acid in the system. The liver and kidneys cleanse the body of excess acids and toxins formed by incorrect diets but when these organs are overworked some of the excess is pushed out through the skin. This is the body’s emergency method of dealing with an overload. However, when this happens the acid irritates the skin causing itching and a doggy odour is prominent. Consequently, when the liver is under stress due to an incorrect diet or toxins in the environment itching and skin irritation, eczema and secondary fungal infections result. Frequently, the dog will scratch and bite causing hair loss and self mutilation. The way to effectively combat this is to restore the internal balance. A suitable NATURAL, ALL RAW DIET is essential.
