Concerning switching to a natural diet to help allergies. I've been trying to read the pros and cons. One of the cons is what about a small bone piercing the intestions. ?
Also, if you are feeding a natural diet, what do people do when they go on vacation and have to take dog to the kennel for a week. ?
Concerning best allergy supplement. Is Clear Alergi the one Leerburg would recommend the most?
Concerning licking paws has anyone used the Yeast and Fungal D tox from Leerburg?

Edit reason: title change
Complications from a raw diet are few and far between.
There are risk associated with every aspect of a dog living. From diet to toys. Anything your dog does while it is living has risks.
You just have to decide what feels best for you and your situation.
I never think about my dog breaking a leg when I throw a frisbee or drowning when we go swimming. Both could happen, probably more likely than a bowel perforation, but I'm not going to quit doing them. Same with the raw diet.
Same when I fed kibble. I never thought about any risk that could arise from that, either.
For boarding a raw fed dog, you could always use a product like The Honest Kitchen if you didn't want to feed kibble or canned for a week. The latter is not the end of the world, either. So long as your dog tolerates the food change.

I changed the thread's title (which originally mentioned vaccinations).
In your other thread, I brought up fish oil and E.
Besides what Michael said about raw feeding, I'd add the importance of fish oil, regardless of the diet; fish oil is an anti-inflammation agent that would be (and is) my first step when facing any kind of skin pruritis. In fact, just about every dog needs the long-chain Omega 3s in fish oil; it's even more critical when there's an existing skin problem.

Concerning the paw licking, have you had a cytology done on them? You have to know what is causing the licking - i.e. is it allergies, or is there really yeast and/or bacteria, etc. Our allergy dog does a lot of paw licking, and sometimes there is yeast and the licking gets even worse, and sometimes there is no yeast. But the only way to tell is the vet looking under the microscope to see what is there. Don't put anything on them until you know or it will mess up the cytology!
Wondering about bones in a raw diet.... need not worry dogs can neat any bones as long as they are NOT COOKED !!! Even raw chicken bones are OK if the are RAW. I've been feeding for the last four years and all my food comes from Green Bay Pet Food Co. in Green Bay WI. We have Newfoundlands, Belgium Tervurens and a Lab. J.P. Brausch
