I have talked to two people that have had it done on themselves and swear up and down that it has changed their lives. The lady at the store has this computerized analysis done on her dogs, and said they were able to pinpoint exactly what foods their dogs did best on, and what was causing all their problems (including environmental issues) when other sources couldn't determine the likely causes. I can't say that I am a believer yet, but I am praying that this works. I read a bit about it, and it makes sense from the little I understand.
Charlie is only 3 months old, and he started itching about a week after I got him. The vet couldn't find the source of the problem. He did have a vial of Revolution for parasites, just in case. Other than that, I have a humidifier running all day where he sleeps, he only drinks filtered water, I have washed all the blankets in hypo-allergenic soap, I started him on fish oil and he is transitioning to a BARF diet. I know it is a very short time for all this, but I hate seeing him bite his legs...he is starting to lose hair where he bites. I really don't want to go through the long process of eliminating certain things out of his diet then having to wait a month to see if what I removed was a cause of his condition(while he suffers through it). She said the plan would consist of the foods that agree best with him (apparently a computer generated list shows what had the "best" reaction, and what had the "worst") and perhaps short term homeopathics to clear his body of toxins. It might not even be food thats causing the problems, but cleaners I'm using or other environmental allergens. :?
If this works I will be ecstatic...if not, I guess I will have to start eliminating certain foods and see a dermatologist. Once we see her next Friday, I will post the results of the visit!
