If you have a pet dog with food allergies, it is even rougher. You love your faithful dog, but the costs for treating pet allergies and buying special dog food is skyrocketing, sucking up a lot of your dwindling cash.
What to do? Suspending treatment would definitely save money, but for you, that may not be an option. Many allergies can be so severe that they can be lethal if treatment is stopped, forcing you to consider cheaper alternatives. For frugal ideas and medical tips on dealing with canine allergies (not just food allergies), read the article in the Frugal Café "Pet" section, "Spend Less Money Treating Your Dog’s Food Allergies." It includes several excellent recipes for cooking up your own chemical-free, wheat-free, nutritious dog food, which should save you a hefty chunk of cash.
A lot of physical problems are caused by commercial dog food (cat food, too), which are explained. Additional valuable info, including which breeds of dogs are most prone to allergies and many common items in the home or yard that cause allergic reactions, is also covered.
