Paws Off the Processed: Why Your Dog's "Allergies" Might Just Be Detox

Send us a text

Are your dog's supposed "allergic reactions" actually signs of healing? When transitioning from processed kibble to raw dog food, many pet parents misinterpret normal detoxification symptoms as negative reactions. These temporary changes—itching, minor digestive adjustments, even brief behavioral shifts—signal your pet's body finally purging accumulated toxins from years of inappropriate nutrition.

Dr. Judy Jasek DVM and DeDe Murcer Moffett dive deep into this crucial misunderstanding that causes many well-intentioned pet parents to abandon raw feeding just when their pets are beginning to heal. They explain how the conventional veterinary approach often misdiagnoses these detoxification symptoms as food allergies, leading to even more problematic "solutions" like highly processed hydrolyzed protein diets that further compromise pet health.

The conversation turns to a concerning new pharmaceutical trend—a recently developed injection for pancreatitis that was tested on just 31 dogs with questionable results. This highlights the industry's preference for profitable drug development over addressing the nutritional foundations of health. As Dr. Jasek warns, "Don't let your dog or cat be a guinea pig" for newly released medications when nutrition could resolve many common health issues.

Most powerfully, the hosts share their extensive experience witnessing dramatic improvements in behavior, anxiety, and overall vitality when pets transition to species-appropriate nutrition. Unlike popular misconceptions, raw-fed dogs typically become calmer, more attentive, and easier to train—not more anxious or hyperactive. This episode offers a refreshing perspective that challenges conventional wisdom about pet nutrition and provides practical guidance for those considering a transition to raw feeding.
