Rocket has been using Ask Ariel's AllerEaze and Power Probiotic to help with his allergies. Here is what his mom, Terri, had to say: "Rocket, my pit bull really does well on this. He's had allergies since he's been a puppy and I will never be without this product again. I don't have to use AllerEaze every day, but when he's beginning a flare-up, I start right away so that the paws aren't licked raw and the big bumps that he used to get don't start up. It's awesome stuff. I will never give those shots from the vet. This works perfect." Rocket is such a handsome boy and we thank Terri for sharing his photo with us.

DID YOU KNOW.... poultry is a big allergen for both dogs and cats.
Pets can have digestive problems such as vomiting and diarrhea or skin
problems, itching and scratching
You may want to take a closer
look at what you are feeding your pet. Poultry is one of the most
common ingredients in pet food. However, poultry allergies in dogs and
cats is a big problem. Even if your pet is not allergic to poultry per
se, your cat or dog could be intolerant of it. Poultry is a common
food allergy for allergic pets in the same way that dairy can be for
many allergic people. It can cause a great deal of inflammation, which
in turn weakens the immune system. What's a pet owner to do? Most
pets love chicken & turkey .......Sure, you want to spoil your pet,
but try taking a ride on the wild side and look into some exotic flavors
such as rabbit or venison. There are lots of tasty freeze dried, raw
and canned options.
Please limit or avoid dry food as it is much harder
to digest and can contribute to yeast overgrowth and digestive
problems. Dry food is not an ideal option for cats since they are not great water drinkers and can benefit from a high
moisture diet to prevent urinary tract problems.

Your pet can suffer from allergic symptoms , just like people, when their immune systems start recognizing everyday substances (dust, grass, shampoo, food items) as dangerous. Despite these allergens being common and harmless to most animals, a pet with allergies can have an extreme reaction to them. Allergens can be inhaled, ingested or come in contact with your pet's skin, so as their body tries to rid itself of these substances, a variety of reactions can occur. They can show up as skin, digestive and/or respiratory symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Allergies In Dogs And Cats include:
- Itchy, red, moist or scabbed skin
- Increased scratching
- Itchy, runny eyes
- Itchy back or base of tail (most commonly a flea allergy)
- Itchy ears and ear infections
- Sneezing
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Snoring due to an inflamed throat
- Paw chewing/swollen paws
- Constant licking

Some cats and dogs can experience hair loss especially around the mouth or on the tail. Hair loss can be a sign of allergies in pets. Sometimes after my dog Legend eats something he is allergic to it, he will start scratching at the mouth which leads to hair loss. While we keep Legend on very strict hypoallergenic diet, on occasion, we might try something new to see how he responds to it. Amazing, but even a different type of fish or small piece of pork is a huge trigger for him. He will start scratching at the mouth. Also, we have seen cats where they lose hair around the tail and then by changing the diet, the hair grows back.
