I do not think that I mentioned that my youngest puff Zora (1 yr old) has a grass allergy .As a result her paws are constantly red :( I really do not want to give up on her freedom to run in the grass at least once a day and so after a visit to to the vet we have some options :
1) We can put her on lifelong allergy medications ,which quite honestly if I can avoid this I will .
the option that I am seeking is a Holistic Approach in combatting this grass allergy .
After research and a consultation with a holistic vet ,Zora as of 3 days ago has started Nettle leaf pills and licorice Root pills twice a day . Nettle leaf is a natural antihistamine and Licorice root is a kind of natural steroid .Paws crossed this regimen works but we won't know until after a couple of weeks when the natural herbs have built up in her system and hopefully combatted the allergy significantly . I have also added a probiotic and a multivitamin to all of my dogs daily intake
