Diet, Living Conditions and Parasites
The evolution of dogs from their natural state, through the outdoor working animal, to the present indoor living, human companion, has resulted in three significant changes to its diet, living conditions and the elimination of many parasites.
The diet of dogs has changed enormously from their natural state when dogs were omnivores whose diet was a balance of plants, fruits, grains and the occasional flesh. Today the diet of dogs consist mainly of meat and grains (corn, wheat, rice.) A diet consisting mainly of these can lead to a sub clinical inflamed state, that is a condition which promotes such inflammatory conditions as joint disease, heart disease, inflammatory gut disease, eczema and some cancers and mental aging. Their diet is deficient in such key nutrients as vitamin E, A, B12. This is exacerbated when the feed is exposed to high heat (during the manufacturing process) when the essential vitamins, fatty acids and minerals that may have been added to the animal feed are destroyed.
The role of the dog today has also changed. Less often is the dog an outdoor, working animal, more often he is a companion who lives indoors, thus exposing them to many of the most common allergens like house dust mites, house dust, human dander, feathers, tobacco, and molds
Immunoglobin E antibodies (IgE) are believed to be the primary defense that a dogs immune system produces to fight parasites, they are also responsible for producing allergic reactions as they cause the release of histamines which cause redness of skin, itching and symptoms of dermatitis. Evidence suggests that as dog owners become more efficient at eradicating parasites from their dogs, those dogs with a predisposition for producing high levels of IgE are more susceptible to allergies.
Atopy is an environmental allergy affecting the skin. It is like a canine version of hay fever. It is quite common, about 10 percent of dogs can become sensitive to substances in their environment and to pollen from grasses, trees and weeds. A dog sensitive to these allergens may develop an allergic reaction in the form of extreme itchiness (pruritis.) Some dogs with Atopy also have an allergic reaction to their food; this also manifests itself by excessive scratching and biting at their feet.
