Dog Peanut Butter Allergy Remedy

We’ve got a question from one of our readers:

My dog is allergic to peanut butter. Do you know any remedies for this kind of dog allergy?

As dog allergy is a very important and delicate issue, we felt like writing this short article containing the answer.

Allergy, be it in humans or dogs, or any other pet, is incurable. Repeated exposure to the substance that causes the allergic reaction only makes it worse, and aggravates the symptoms. The only cure is to stay away from the incriminated allergen. In your case, you should keep your dog away from peanut butter. There are many foods dog eat, so it shouldn’t be a problem to take the peanut butter out of his diet. This also goes for humans a well. Although for humans there are drugs which alleviate allergy symptoms (antihistamine medication), those drugs only work on the symptoms and not on the condition which causes those symptoms. Allergy cannot be cured. There is a possibility of getting a vaccine for desensitization, but the process takes several years and it doesn’t grant the same resutls for each patient. Besides, those shots are quite painful and they have to be administered several times a week.

This is why, in case of food allergy, the best thing is to stay away from the food which causes you the allergic reactions and you’ll be well. The same principle applies to dog allergy.
