Often An allergic reaction can be caused by diet. We have done a ton of research on what to feed as the best nutritionally balanced food to our dogs. Golden retriever and Labrador retriever breeds DO NOT TOLERATE GRAINS, CORN, FILLERS, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURS OR COLOURS.

They can have minor to major allergic reactions to an improper diet.

Common Puppy Ailments....

Assessing vomiting/diarrhea...

If your puppy’s suffering from either of these nasties, the first thing to rule out is intestinal parasites. When puppies go home, stress is a factor. It lowers immune systems and makes them very suspectible to common parasites from drinking from lakes and puddles; contact with dogs who are carriers of parasites (Giardia or Coccidia). Easily treatable with daily pumpkin and some time to let their system fight it off. If behaviour is good, & eating and drinking well... let your puppies immune system build and fight. Most dogs, could be tested and over half would test positive for either of these and not show ANY symptoms- as they have built a good immune system. If lethargy, not eating or drinking.... easy anti-parasitical can be found at the vet. (Panacur)

Diet is a key component in building a good immune system with your pet. Always consider all natural - no filler foods with probiotic and proper vitamins.

If parasites are not ruled out- they are not the cause vomiting/diarrhea, your pooch has probably just eaten or licked something he shouldn’t have. Nine times out of 10 what they’ve consumed comes back out again.

Treatment: Continue to offer water, and provide food if your puppy asks for it but that’s less essential than keeping them hydrated. After 12 hours straight (vomiting) or days of diarrhea, take your dog to your veterinarian if he’s not acting well. Your veterinarian can provide you with meds to help.
