I give my dogs food I've cooked specifically for them. Mostly chicken, pressure cooked with carrots (sometimes sweet potato) and steamed broccoli. They also get ground beef and salmon pretty regularly. Sometimes I treat them with sardines - water packed and on occasion tuna. They get "tastes" of almost everything I eat. They also get frozen blueberries, bone meal, "Green Rover" (suforaphane), and "Safe Sea" (Omega 3+) every day. Plus "Bifido For Rover" (probiotics) every other day. Smooth, shiny, soft fur. No allergies. No itching, and lots of energy. On side note concerning fleas and ticks. They get Cistus Incanus (dried leaf) every morning. Occasionally I mix into their evening meal a little oil of oregano and grapefruit seed extract for their microbial effects. They get food twice a day and I weight it. I also add approx. 7.5oz of water with every meal. They are both about 16-18 lbs so adding 15oz of water is pretty much all they need daily. They are very hydrated. My back yard is chemical free. Ya lots of weeds, but its healthier for them and the honeybees like the dandelion and clover flower.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this information. 🙏🏻 our 4 year old labradoodle has severe allergies and yeast. She sheds and itches terribly and her hair is course, lackluster and turning gray. We've been through the ringer with her and she's on prescription food. I'm currently working on her gut. I currently have her on vibactra+ , liquid tonekote from happy jack, and 4health prebiotic os of a week ago. I just want my girl to be healthy and safe. I love her so much. Any help and info you have is appreciated! Xxxxx

She has sever allergies but have been put on antibiotic after antibiotic after steroid but I think she needs a holistic approach. Love your videos. Please keep it up.
Hello I love following you and make my dogs raw meal by following your yeasty dog meal. I feel defeated as I am see improvement temporarily and then they worsen. Which supplements should I purchase and how often do I give it to him? He is about 75 lbs. should I fast him first? He is 2 years old. Help please help
My dog, a 9 year old, lab adopted 6 months ago, has terrible gas, and both burps and farts and sometimes she has a big belly with all her gas. I keep an eye out for bloat. Otherwise she acts fine, very happy and playful. Could this be caused by leaky gut? Any suggestions?
So coconut oil is not good because it causes inflammation? I have been seeing videos on benefits of this oil and feeding my dogs this, please do let me know what you think on this?
Thank you for this video. I’ve used many of your products for my dog over the past 4+ yrs. He was dx with IBD and has lost about 20 lb in 2 months. He now weighs around 46 lb. Should he get Digest, Protect and Gut Guard with each meal 3x day or just once/day? Thank you.
Thank you for presenting this information today. I lost a 5 year old girl to T-Cell Lymphoma In October. I would like to learn what probiotic you recommend for future dogs for me.
I'm so sorry to hear this! I'm a huge fan of soil based probiotics. I recommend Protect for everyday use, it helps remove toxins and heavy metals too: thenaturaldogstore.com/products/four-leaf-rover-protect
Thanks for explaining leaky gut, which I am very sure my dog has. Although I believe in feeding raw, our dog needs to put weight on so I am also feeding The Honest Kitchen organic grain base mix along with the raw. If you know any way to just feed raw and also increase weight, please let me know. This is an adopted dog of 3 1/2 who was fed kibble for her first 3 years, was vaccinated and spayed right before we got her last June. Need help.

Hi Ms Dana Scott! I have received yesterday Four leaf rover Yeast Guard plus which has Gut Guard, Digest and Yeast guard alongwith Protect, Safe Sea and Turkey Tail mushrooms in Mumbai India. My pup of 2 yrs 5 months is suspected of EPI - Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency where gut gets affected and food intolerance is high. He was also having blood in his stool in May. All vitamins were low - B12, B9, D and he took injection for 6 weeks. Presently he is on a nerve supplement Nerve on and Pancreatin 8x started from July. This was all prescribed by myself as my vet had no understanding of the problem. As recently diagnosed he is thriving on barley, oats, quinao, started now bottle gourd, egg n sometimes chicken. He is allergic to chicken so I had stopped in Feb this year but had to give him occasionally as he had become quite weak. We are trying for a substitute meat -duck ot turkey. Could you please advise dosage of the supplements and how many days to give plus anything we might have missed for our little baby🐶 . Request you to Please provide your Four Leaf rover supplements in Amazon India so that we can buy easily. Best regards Moushumi Mumbai India 🇮🇳
You mentioned ear infections may be a sign of leaky gut. Starting him on this diet should help - how long does it take to see a difference? He keeps getting put on prednisone and antibiotics because of chronic ear infections so I need help on building up his gut.
How long it takes depends on how messed up the gut and immune system are from the prednisone and antibiotics. In this case, I would add Gut Guard definitely! thenaturaldogstore.com/products/four-leaf-rover-gut-guard
I know that coconut oil helps regulate blood sugar and I’ve heard that we should sauté veggies in coconut oil or ghee and then feed our dogs that. How much is too much if we want to avoid leaky gut? I think you said it around the 8 min mark that coconut oil should be avoided.
My dog no doubt has leaky gut. She is sensitive to EVERYTHING and cannot eat a single thing good for her. I’m overwhelmed and have no clue how to fix her.
How is she going did you sort her allergies? my girl was the same she only got better once I stopped all kibble and started feeding her human grade lamb with vedgetables.
Hi Dana Thank you for your tireless help for dogs. My 8 year old American Bulldog Rocky must have leaky gut. He’s been healthy all his life until 7 months ago when he had an epulis tumor which was surgically removed by my former Vet. He was on antibiotics for over a month and it seriously took me 6 months to restore his gut- he was constantly having loose poop, diarrhea, and vomiting. He got better but around late Spring this year he developed hot spots and bad dandruff. He now has collarettes in a few places that he scratched and they got red and crusty. I’ve immediately started him on the best FourLeafRover supplements I could afford: Red and Green Rover, yeast guard, gut guard, digest, protect, MCT oil, wild Alaskan salmon oil, a 1/2 tsp ACV with dinner as well, Nordic Naturals Omega 3 oil, zesty paws 11 in 1 multifunctional, zesty paws aller-immune which has colostrum, quercetin, probiotics as well as soil based probiotics. I am physically unable to cook as I have late stage Lyme and am in poor health so out of necessity I feed him canned food from Wellness, Evangers, Merrick, Weruva and Honest Kitchen. I try to look at labels when purchasing so try to avoid grains, potatoes and legumes and chicken but sometimes they sneak some in but I do my best. Sadly I eat mostly frozen and salads. I just started seeing a new Vet (Her website says she practices wellness and prevention) but it’s the same allopathic/conventional medicine I saw at my last Vet. The owner has a bio indicating again she’s pro wellness- I could not see her first visit but she’ll be Rocky’s vet on follow up visits and I’ll ask if she’s willing to treat Rocky naturally so I can avoid things I disagree with but time will tell Unfortunately I had to see another DVM first visit and she immediately criticized me for not using nextgard, heartgard or Simparica. I politely told her I don’t use them as I disagree and believe they’re unhealthy and unsafe and was immediately criticized that I’m playing with fire and the Practice would never sell anything unsafe - Ok…. The DVM immediately told me Rocky likely has heartworm and parasites as well as Lyme. I agreed to let her test Rocky’s blood and all tests were negative. She looked at Rocky’s collarettes (2) both were drying up but she told me to be vigilant and spray them with Trichlor4 which isn’t terrible and said it should dry up the infection. She also gave me cephalexin just in case to have on hand in the event he “needed “ it for an emergency- I’m ok with that as an emergency measure but I’m hoping I do not need it. He started scratching one collarette today and I stopped him and immediately sprayed it with Trichlor4 and took him for a walk so it dried and so far today the collarette Is drying up and appears to be shrinking. I’m going to work on his leaky gut and and advice is so appreciated! I live alone with late stage Lyme and am having a rough time as I have no one to help me. Sincerely Jody from CT
Hi Jody, we actually have a lot of really great article on leaky gut that we think you would find very helpful www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/?s=leaky+gut&_ga=2.247739151.961356091.1656939162-831769898.1653398120 Best wishes!
Thank you so much for the fabulous video in explaining leaky gut, it’s so helpful. Please can you recommend the best supplements I should add to my dogs raw diet to help his leaky gut please?
Hi, thanks for this informative video. We have had an ultrasound done and our Milo has IBD. I am currently using Dr Mercola complete probiotics but I checked and it does not have the pediococcus acidilactici strain. Would you be willing to recommend a soil based probiotic? We cook for Milo so he is not getting any kibble. We also feed broccoli, kale, blueberries, apples, etc along with cooked ground turkey, turkey livers, quail eggs, cinnamon, salt and oysters. Also supplementing with krill oil and cod liver oil. Any suggestions are appreciated.
You can try Safe-Sea by Four Leaf Rover or find a GLM oil from another manufacturer. Just make sure they say how much GLM oil is in it because it's expensive and most of them say the ingredients are "proprietary" so you don't really know how much is in there.
Is chronic diarrhea or loose stool normal? I dont feed kibble. I feed organic, grass fed raw, I'll cook chicken though, and I dont feed it often, mostly steak and lamb and bison, and salmon once a week, I mix in other things such as mushrooms, carrots, capsicum, sprouts, blue berries, and I include live bugs pre and pro biotics. For treats, natural, organic, grass fed freeze dried or dehydrated such as beef heart. Lots of water is always available and he drinks lots on our walks. At most he might go 2 days with normal poos then back to runny. It gets in his tail and I have to wash him after every walk. It's frustrating. Hes happy and has a wonderful attitude. He's raised naturally and was given vaxes at the breeder, and I did antivacinosis when I got him for a month. Hes a japanese chin and just turned 1. Any suggestions? I have tried everything. Thanks
Hey Tina! Just be careful with the mushrooms as there are some varieties in the grocery store that can be toxic to dogs :) Chronic loose stools are not normal! There could very likely be a food allergy contributing. You could try an elimination diet and stick to one protein for a few weeks, then try another, etc to rule them out. Gut Guard by Four Leaf Rover could help soothe his gut while you get to the bottom of things!
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM unfortunately my pup was raised on a variety of yummy raw. To the point he will not duplicate his meal. "Mum, I had grass fed sirloin yesterday, and now again today? Take it away you peasant!" And when I insist he finish his food or repeat it and I get stubborn and keep putting it down for him, he just wont eat. 3 days is his maximum not eating day. Its frightening how bloody stubborn he is. As for mushrooms, they're the typical heirloom, aka, white ones in the stores. Organic. I'm in Mexico now though so I cant be sure what's really organic or if they just say it is and charge me more. Again the last two days hes straining to poo. Awhile ago he actually cried in pain from runny exploding diarrhea. Welcome to Mexico... I guess. I wont stop trying to figure it out though.
Gut Guard is for the management of leaky gut and is not to be used long term. Protect is an everyday probiotic that also contains clays and other ingredients that help remove heavy metals and toxins from the body.
Your videos are phenomenal. I share them, too. Question. I feed organic Broccoli Sprouts almost daily and we use Protect amongst other products from you. How much Broccoli sprouts to Labs over 70lbs. (Body score 5)? Is 1/4 c. twice a day too much? #zerokibble Thanks again!
Thank you! An ounce of broccoli sprouts contains about 73mg of sulforaphane. An ounce would be about half a cup, so your dog would need anywhere from a pinch to a half cup to get a good amount of sulforaphane. If giving a broccoli sprout powder, make sure it’s freeze-dried …as mentioned earlier, heat can destroy the myrosinase. On average, your dog would need: 5 - 25 pounds: 250 mg 25 - 50 pounds: 500 mg 50 - 100 pounds: 1,000 mg Here's a lot more information: www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/reasons-your-dog-needs-sulforaphane/
I sure hope I found this in time to save my 12 year old malamute wolf hybrid, I've been telling the vets for months something is wrong with him, and its nit his hip dysplasia, but they keep telling me that it is the hips, finally this past Tuesday February 06,2024 he had a really bad attack, I thought maybe pancreatic attack, but by the time I called Friday morning to get blood work they told me he was so dehydrated the blood wouldn't even flow out of him, he ended up having to go on fluids. I've got him on organika l'glutamine since this has happened, I also find that YL Essentialzyme has worked the best for him so far & occasionally he may get ACV in a veg gel capsule. I've heard clove oil would be good for healthy gut bacteria too, but going to read up on that more before I decide; ,thx for sharing, and anyone reading this please pray for Glacier; we sure need it
Raw food particularly ruminant animals is good and Ivermectin seems to cure everything, although I haven’t used it as I use homoeopathy. veterinary Secrets is a good utube for advice. Namaste 🙏
My pup had diarrhea with Everything other than Hills biome and I am wonderful if this is what she has and what other non prescription food can do the same for her without trying everything under the sun and aggravating her tummy more
Yes, he certainly likes to go after holistic folk. His name is Brennen McKenzie and he initiated the attack on veterinary homeopathy a few years ago. It's a difficult world because here in the US, where we consume nearly 3/4 of all of the world's pharmaceutical products, we think science is the holy grail ... and it certainly can be. However, peer reviewed is a joke because peer reviewers aren't allowed to see any raw data from studies, which means that medical fraud can and does happen on a regular basis. Moreover, peer reviewers are too tightly controlled by pharmaceutical companies, as are universities. And finally, research is mainly done for the purpose of finding/testing expensive, patented drugs, so there's a definite hole in our understanding of natural medicines. With that said, our approach is to stick to what's natural because we feel the research is skewed and our safety systems are likely corrupt. It's a strange world that we all need to try to navigate the best we can!
I need a little help for my 12 month old male Chihuahua..... Almost 3 days a week we wake up to yellow regergated spots on the capet from him. Always in the morning....a;ways yellow. Some days with grass in it..... Hes been to the vet they can't find anything....... he is pretty thin. What could be happening?////?/?
@@MiddlePath33 I've gotten it under control for the most part. I have to do home made bone broth and lots of 🥦 & carrots 🥕....... Acidophilus! Also any kibble must be GRAIN FREE & Gluten free. If he gets that he is done for ... Yellow spots everywhere in morning
I would love to agree with this video, but raw food caused my dogs leaky gut syndrome in the first place. He was fed exclusively raw for the first 2 years of his life and now he's suffering from leaky gut. My vet, and some other vets from austria which I've been communicating with have said that there's a connection between the intestinal lining and raw dog food. So if anything, the best way is to feed a balanced cooked diet with starches, just not very inflammatory ones.
A raw diet certainly can cause leaky gut if it's high in fat, especially saturated fat. This is outlined in the video. As for starches, they are all inflammatory. You might be interested in the work by Richard Patton PhD to learn more. He has actually compared the gut microbiome of kibble-fed dogs to raw fed dogs - and changed their diets - and saw more diverse and populated bacteria colonies in the dogs eating a raw diet, even those that were previously eating kibble. And the raw fed dogs that were switched to kibble for the study saw unwanted changes in their microbiomes (which is the leading cause of leaky gut). You can find his work on our website more more info.
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM I was feeding him a wet food that had only horse meat and organs and flaxseed oil, he didn't get any better. So what are my options if I may ask? Is there any dry food that is suitable for gut healing even, because I had no luck with a dozen novel protein, hypoallergenic, limited ingredients wet foods I tried. And I really don't want to go back to raw since that is what caused his condition in the first place.
@@gemma8611 Yes. Get him off raw. Certain dog breeds cannot handle raw food. I'd suggest that you feed food that's easily digestible and doesn't contain peas, beans, potatoes, lentils for now as it can lead to further stomach upset, stick to grain inclusive foods that contain stuff like rice and wheat, but you can also look for branda that use ancient grain alternatives such as quinoa. When his gut lining is healed you can choose to feed potatoes/peas/lentils again if you choose so, but I still wouldn't recommend it. Furthermore try to switch up proteins if you suspect it to be a problem. You should notice a difference in about 48 hours max if it's an reaction to the protein. Be patient and stick to quality kibble and canned food for now also, don't experiment with dehydrated this and freeze dried that. You won't probably see real changes for at least 72 hours. Make sure that you also add some probiotics to his diet temporarily and let him eat grass if he wants to, it soothes the stomach. The biggest indicator is the poo, it needs to be like a log, semi moist with perforations, the hardness of a normal banana. His gut lining needs to heal, and considering that you also should stop giving him anti parasitic oral medication (dewormer) if you do so regularly. It kills the flora and fauna of the gut and further destroys the chances of the gut lining healing. Hope this helped, if you have any further questions just ask, I know this is a topic that many have no answers for and just want to sell you products. I experienced the difficulties of it first hand and know.
Would you say leaky gut is could also be a cause to why so many dogs have seasonal and environmental allgeries ? Or are those allgeries what you would assume is real allgeries ?
I give my dogs food I've cooked specifically for them. Mostly chicken, pressure cooked with carrots (sometimes sweet potato) and steamed broccoli. They also get ground beef and salmon pretty regularly. Sometimes I treat them with sardines - water packed and on occasion tuna. They get "tastes" of almost everything I eat.
They also get frozen blueberries, bone meal, "Green Rover" (suforaphane), and "Safe Sea" (Omega 3+) every day. Plus "Bifido For Rover" (probiotics) every other day.

On side note concerning fleas and ticks. They get Cistus Incanus (dried leaf) every morning.

Great video! I know you are the real deal because you don’t recommend commercial dog food 👏🏻
Thank you!
Where does one get Green Lipped Mussel Oil for dogs? I am presently using Krill oil by Mercola.
You can try Safe-Sea by Four Leaf Rover or find a GLM oil from another manufacturer. Just make sure they say how much GLM oil is in it because it's expensive and most of them say the ingredients are "proprietary" so you don't really know how much is in there.
Is chronic diarrhea or loose stool normal? I dont feed kibble. I feed organic, grass fed raw, I'll cook chicken though, and I dont feed it often, mostly steak and lamb and bison, and salmon once a week, I mix in other things such as mushrooms, carrots, capsicum, sprouts, blue berries, and I include live bugs pre and pro biotics. For treats, natural, organic, grass fed freeze dried or dehydrated such as beef heart.
Lots of water is always available and he drinks lots on our walks.
At most he might go 2 days with normal poos then back to runny. It gets in his tail and I have to wash him after every walk. It's frustrating. Hes happy and has a wonderful attitude. He's raised naturally and was given vaxes at the breeder, and I did antivacinosis when I got him for a month. Hes a japanese chin and just turned 1. Any suggestions? I have tried everything. Thanks
Hey Tina! Just be careful with the mushrooms as there are some varieties in the grocery store that can be toxic to dogs :) Chronic loose stools are not normal! There could very likely be a food allergy contributing. You could try an elimination diet and stick to one protein for a few weeks, then try another, etc to rule them out. Gut Guard by Four Leaf Rover could help soothe his gut while you get to the bottom of things!
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM unfortunately my pup was raised on a variety of yummy raw. To the point he will not duplicate his meal. "Mum, I had grass fed sirloin yesterday, and now again today? Take it away you peasant!" And when I insist he finish his food or repeat it and I get stubborn and keep putting it down for him, he just wont eat. 3 days is his maximum not eating day. Its frightening how bloody stubborn he is.
As for mushrooms, they're the typical heirloom, aka, white ones in the stores. Organic. I'm in Mexico now though so I cant be sure what's really organic or if they just say it is and charge me more.
Again the last two days hes straining to poo. Awhile ago he actually cried in pain from runny exploding diarrhea. Welcome to Mexico... I guess. I wont stop trying to figure it out though.
What’s the difference between Gut Guard and Protect? How do people know when to use which one?
Gut Guard is for the management of leaky gut and is not to be used long term. Protect is an everyday probiotic that also contains clays and other ingredients that help remove heavy metals and toxins from the body.
What about butter milk
Your videos are phenomenal. I share them, too. Question. I feed organic Broccoli Sprouts almost daily and we use Protect amongst other products from you. How much Broccoli sprouts to Labs over 70lbs. (Body score 5)? Is 1/4 c. twice a day too much? #zerokibble Thanks again!
Thank you! An ounce of broccoli sprouts contains about 73mg of sulforaphane. An ounce would be about half a cup, so your dog would need anywhere from a pinch to a half cup to get a good amount of sulforaphane.
If giving a broccoli sprout powder, make sure it’s freeze-dried …as mentioned earlier, heat can destroy the myrosinase. On average, your dog would need:
5 - 25 pounds: 250 mg
25 - 50 pounds: 500 mg
50 - 100 pounds: 1,000 mg

I sure hope I found this in time to save my 12 year old malamute wolf hybrid, I've been telling the vets for months something is wrong with him, and its nit his hip dysplasia, but they keep telling me that it is the hips, finally this past Tuesday February 06,2024 he had a really bad attack, I thought maybe pancreatic attack, but by the time I called Friday morning to get blood work they told me he was so dehydrated the blood wouldn't even flow out of him, he ended up having to go on fluids. I've got him on organika l'glutamine since this has happened, I also find that YL Essentialzyme has worked the best for him so far & occasionally he may get ACV in a veg gel capsule. I've heard clove oil would be good for healthy gut bacteria too, but going to read up on that more before I decide; ,thx for sharing, and anyone reading this please pray for Glacier; we sure need it
Raw food particularly ruminant animals is good and Ivermectin seems to cure everything, although I haven’t used it as I use homoeopathy. veterinary Secrets is a good utube for advice. Namaste 🙏
My pup had diarrhea with Everything other than Hills biome and I am wonderful if this is what she has and what other non prescription food can do the same for her without trying everything under the sun and aggravating her tummy more
Thanks so much. I’ve been wondering what is your opinions about SkeptVet blog? They’re against every single thing that you say.
Yes, he certainly likes to go after holistic folk. His name is Brennen McKenzie and he initiated the attack on veterinary homeopathy a few years ago. It's a difficult world because here in the US, where we consume nearly 3/4 of all of the world's pharmaceutical products, we think science is the holy grail ... and it certainly can be. However, peer reviewed is a joke because peer reviewers aren't allowed to see any raw data from studies, which means that medical fraud can and does happen on a regular basis. Moreover, peer reviewers are too tightly controlled by pharmaceutical companies, as are universities. And finally, research is mainly done for the purpose of finding/testing expensive, patented drugs, so there's a definite hole in our understanding of natural medicines. With that said, our approach is to stick to what's natural because we feel the research is skewed and our safety systems are likely corrupt. It's a strange world that we all need to try to navigate the best we can!
I need a little help for my 12 month old male Chihuahua.....
Almost 3 days a week we wake up to yellow regergated spots on the capet from him. Always in the morning....a;ways yellow. Some days with grass in it.....
Hes been to the vet they can't find anything....... he is pretty thin.
What could be happening?////?/?
Are you medicating the dog with anything?
@@MiddlePath33 only natural stuff... 😊
@@MiddlePath33 I've gotten it under control for the most part. I have to do home made bone broth and lots of 🥦 & carrots 🥕....... Acidophilus! Also any kibble must be GRAIN FREE & Gluten free. If he gets that he is done for ... Yellow spots everywhere in morning
I would love to agree with this video, but raw food caused my dogs leaky gut syndrome in the first place.
He was fed exclusively raw for the first 2 years of his life and now he's suffering from leaky gut.
My vet, and some other vets from austria which I've been communicating with have said that there's a connection between the intestinal lining and raw dog food.
So if anything, the best way is to feed a balanced cooked diet with starches, just not very inflammatory ones.
A raw diet certainly can cause leaky gut if it's high in fat, especially saturated fat. This is outlined in the video. As for starches, they are all inflammatory. You might be interested in the work by Richard Patton PhD to learn more. He has actually compared the gut microbiome of kibble-fed dogs to raw fed dogs - and changed their diets - and saw more diverse and populated bacteria colonies in the dogs eating a raw diet, even those that were previously eating kibble. And the raw fed dogs that were switched to kibble for the study saw unwanted changes in their microbiomes (which is the leading cause of leaky gut). You can find his work on our website more more info.
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM I was feeding him a wet food that had only horse meat and organs and flaxseed oil, he didn't get any better.
So what are my options if I may ask?
Is there any dry food that is suitable for gut healing even, because I had no luck with a dozen novel protein, hypoallergenic, limited ingredients wet foods I tried.
And I really don't want to go back to raw since that is what caused his condition in the first place.
@@KraljHDhi, did you find a solution? I'm having similar problems
@@gemma8611 Yes. Get him off raw. Certain dog breeds cannot handle raw food. I'd suggest that you feed food that's easily digestible and doesn't contain peas, beans, potatoes, lentils for now as it can lead to further stomach upset, stick to grain inclusive foods that contain stuff like rice and wheat, but you can also look for branda that use ancient grain alternatives such as quinoa. When his gut lining is healed you can choose to feed potatoes/peas/lentils again if you choose so, but I still wouldn't recommend it.
Furthermore try to switch up proteins if you suspect it to be a problem. You should notice a difference in about 48 hours max if it's an reaction to the protein.
Be patient and stick to quality kibble and canned food for now also, don't experiment with dehydrated this and freeze dried that. You won't probably see real changes for at least 72 hours.
Make sure that you also add some probiotics to his diet temporarily and let him eat grass if he wants to, it soothes the stomach.
The biggest indicator is the poo, it needs to be like a log, semi moist with perforations, the hardness of a normal banana.
His gut lining needs to heal, and considering that you also should stop giving him anti parasitic oral medication (dewormer) if you do so regularly. It kills the flora and fauna of the gut and further destroys the chances of the gut lining healing.
Hope this helped, if you have any further questions just ask, I know this is a topic that many have no answers for and just want to sell you products. I experienced the difficulties of it first hand and know.
those are not actually flaws btw thanks for good explaining but can you please tell me do (Protect) help

Would you say leaky gut is could also be a cause to why so many dogs have seasonal and environmental allgeries ? Or are those allgeries what you would assume is real allgeries ?
I’m sorry I watched this three times. I do not understand how I can cure my dogs gut health :(
Here are a few articles that maybe more helpful!

What about ginger to her diet
It’s from the damn meds you give them weekly, monthly. The elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Secondary is cheap grain filled dog food.
Feeding dogs commercial dog food that is full of maize and soy will have negative effects.
Any starch, regardless of origin.
Coconut oil is what is causing it in my girl!!!!
Are we talking runny poops?
Chronic diarrhea could be a sign of leaky gut!
Evolutionist. How can I take what you advise knowing you belief?
