Directions For Use

Veterinarians across the country are seeing a steadily increasing number of cases of allergies in dogs of all breeds. Rescue shelters are experiencing an unprecedented number of animal surrenders of dogs with severe skin and coat conditions attributed to allergies. The causes of these dramatic increases in canine allergies are not yet clear, but gathered evidence is pointing in several directions.

HardyPet is on the front lines with veterinarians and other pet professionals working to determine the source of these allergies and how to provide quick and lasting relief.

The IEP (Identify/Eliminate/Prevent) approach to canine allergies was developed by veterinarians and rescue shelters to provide the fastest method to dealing with canine allergies. For dog owners, and especially in the rescue shelter environment, time is of the essence in addressing a dog's skin and coat problems. IEP is a logical approach to troubleshooting the root cause of an allergy instead of just treating the symptoms.

IDENTIFY - There are so many compounds which are known to cause canine allergies it can be difficult to identify which one is causing your dog's itchiness. The easiest method is to eliminate every likely allergen in their diet and environment and then slowly introduce new items to identify which substances they are allergic to.

ELIMINATE - Typically allergen identification involves ensuring use of a grain-free dog food, eliminating all table scraps and treats, and restricting the use of household cleaners and harsh detergents for dog bedding and blankets. This can also involve the use of medications to control fleas and other parasites. A key part of this process is the use of nutrients which are known to reduce inflammation and histamine production. HardyPet Skin/Coat is the preferred choice of veterinarians and rescue shelters for this purpose.

PREVENT - Once allergens have been removed from a dog's diet and environment, and their scratching and skin irritation has subsided, it is important to prevent reoccurrence. Just one bite or short exposure to an allergen can cause weeks of inflammation and itchiness. The nutrients contained in HardyPet Skin/Coat not only ease the symptoms of an allergy outbreak, they also help to strengthen your dog's immune system which reduces the likelihood of them coming back.

Allergic reactions are not the only source of skin and coat problems. Unexplained hair loss can often be attributed to:

· Impaired Immune Function - parasites and certain mites which are normally present on a dog's skin can wreak havoc when their immune system can no longer successfully fight them off. This can result in "hot spots" and overall hair loss. HardyPet Skin/Coat helps to boost immune function with broad spectrum vitamins and essential nutrients to help fight parasites.

· Hormonal Changes - female dogs with advanced age undergo hormonal changes which are known to cause thinning of the coat. These hormonal changes are especially severe in female dogs who have recently given birth and have completed nursing their litter. HardyPet Skin/Coat aids in balancing hormone levels and lessening the severity of hair loss which is seasonal or caused by advanced age or breeding.

· Other Medical Conditions - There are many medical conditions which are known to cause unexplained hair loss. Proper veterinary care is always the first step to identifying the cause of any unusual hair loss. Most veterinarians recommend HardyPet Skin/Coat as a part of their treatment program for hair loss which results from a medical condition.

Holistic Compounds
Blue Green Algae	Blue green algae contains a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and nutrients including beta carotene, fatty acids, amino acids, protein, enzymes, lipids, vitamin C, vitamin E and B complex vitamins. In the wild, Blue green algae requires the same profile of essential amino acid as dogs, so it's a great source of protein. Animal experts agree that the canine body is designed to eat raw, enzyme rich food with ample chlorophyll. Blue green algae is the perfect source of nutrition for dogs.
Brewer's Yeast	Brewer's Yeast is a great source of Vitamin B, essential minerals and amino acids. Known to provide substantial immune boosting properties in dogs, several studies have shown an increase in skin health, reduce shedding, and acts as a natural flea repellant.
Premium Grade Chicken Liver	Chicken Liver provides a concentrated source of Omega 3/6/9 fatty acids for improved heart health, Increased energy, and a substantial improvement in coat condition. Also a powerful Antioxidant with strong immune boosting properties.
Cat's Claw (uncaria tomentosa)	Cat's Claw aids in skin and immune health by strengthening white blood cell function and deterring auto-immune dysfunction. From the jungles of the Amazon, Cat's Claw includes amazing anti-inflammatory properties to aid in inflammation of the skin, joints, and aids in the digestion of carbohydrates.
Evening Primrose Oil (GLA)	Evening Primrose Oil contains GLA which is an essential fatty acid that every dog needs and cannot produce themselves. GLA is one of the key components of the mother's milk that every puppy needs for proper development and every adult dog needs for continued skin health.

Alfalfa	Alfalfa is an excellent source of digestible soluble fiber and chlorophyll. Alfalfa has also been shown as a powerful antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal compound which aids in digestion and boosts immune system function.
Refined Oyster Shell	Refined oyster Shell is a natural source of calcium and is needed for healthy bone development in puppies as well as proper bone maintenance for adult dogs. Canine diets low in calcium are typically a significant contributor to joint conditions in young dogs and debilitating bone loss in mature dogs.
Pine Bark	Pine Bark extract is a bioflavonoid- rich, powerful antioxidant used to fight free radicals and maintaining capillary health and supports a dog’s natural inflammation control systems. Pine bark also provides multi modal support for joints, soft tissues and liver function, which makes it a popular recommended ingredient among veterinarians.
Papain	Papain is taken from the fruit of the papaya tree and is used to relieve pain and swelling (inflammation) as well as fluid retention following trauma or surgery. It is used as a digestive aid and for treating parasitic worms, digestive issues, allergies, and in the treatment of certain cancers. This amazing enzyme has been popular as a meat tenderizer for centuries and today is recognized as a powerful holistic canine anti-inflammatory.
Alpha Amylase	Alpha Amylase is an essential enzyme that helps dogs convert carbohydrates to healthy sugars needed for energy. It also enhances the mechanisms needed for proper nutrient absorption and delivery to vital organs and systems. A-Amylase deficiencies in dogs can create a wide variety of direct and system specific conditions that can be difficult to identify and treat.
Essential Amino Acids
Tyrosine	One of the most common canine conditions is Hypothyroidism can be related to a deficiency of Tyrosine and Iodine. The thyroid gland requires the amino acid Tyrosine to stimulate production of hormones that help regulate numerous body functions. Supplementing Tyrosine ensures that the canine thyroid gland has the building blocks it needs to functions properly.
Alanine	A critical amino acid that plays a key role in proper muscle and live function. When a dog's muscles convert other amino acids for fuel, left over compounds called glutamates are generated and must be removed from the muscle. Alanine carries the harmful byproducts to be carried to the liver. These compounds are then converted to new energy or are filtered out by the liver. Alanine deficiencies are seen in cases of impaired liver function and related disorders.
Valine	Valine is an essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) and helps dogs properly absorb and utilize various proteins in their diet. Studies indicate that a developing puppy with a diet that is deficient in isoleucine tend to be 30% smaller in size and overall development than those who receive proper supplementation.
Tryptophan	Tryptophan is en essential amino acid that can cross the blood-brain barrier depending on how much free tryptophan is available in the body. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, which has been shown to be deficient in aggressive dogs. Increasing dietary tryptophan through supplementation can increase the amount of serotonin in the brain, which has been shown to reduce aggression and improve recovery from stress in some animals.
Threonine	An essential amino acid that promotes normal growth by helping to maintain the proper protein balance in the body and is necessary for the formation of tooth enamel, and elastin and collagen. Threonine also supports cardiovascular, liver, central nervous, and immune system function.
Methonine	Methionine is an essential amino acid that helps with metabolism and breaks down fat. It can also help with chelation, which is the removal of heavy metals from the body to ensure that the liver, kidneys, and bladder remain healthy. Methionine is a principle supplier of sulfur to the body and helps prevent disorders of the hair, skin and nails. Recent studies show that deficiency of methionine may be associated with the development of age-related cataracts and that methionine supplementation may delay their development.
Histidine	Histidine is an amino acid that is used to develop and maintain healthy tissues in all parts of the body, particularly the myelin sheaths that coat nerve cells and ensure the transmission of messages from the brain to various parts of the body. This essential amino acid releases histamines from body stores, is associated with pain control, is associated with arthritis, and widens small blood vessels; thus aiding early digestion by stimulating stomach acid secretion.
Glutamaic Acid	Glutamic acid, also called glutamate, is an excitatory neurotransmitter that increases the firing of neurons in the central nervous system. In dogs, Glutamate has been shown as an effective treatment for a variety of canine ailments including digestive issues, nervous system deficiencies, and behavioral problems.
Lysine	An essential amino acid that is required for growth and bone development in puppies, assists in calcium absorption and maintaining the correct nitrogen balance in the body. It is also needed to produce antibodies, hormones, enzymes, collagen formation as well as repair of tissue. Deficiencies in lysine can cause appetite loss, fatigue, anemia and hair loss.
Asparic Acid	Aspartic acid is an amino acid known to promote a robust metabolism and is used to treat fatigue because of the crucial role it plays in generating cellular energy. Aspartic acid moves NADH molecules from the main body of the cell to its mitochondria, where it is used to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel that powers all cellular activity.
Luecine	Luecine is a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) which studies have shown is necessary for proper nutrient absorption during digestions. Luecine is often prescribed for dogs with cancer because of cachexia, a condition which the body loses mass despite the heavy intake of calories. Daily doses of Luecine help dogs maintain a healthy body weight by maximizing nutrient intake from their food.
Arginine	Arginine is critically important to young and developing dogs to ensure propwer growth and overall development. Studies have shown that arginine supplementation has a dramatic effect on the healthy development of young dogs. It has also been shown that puppies require additional arginine in their diet to avoid abnormal urinary function and retain a proper nitrogen balance.
Isoluecine	isoleucine is a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) which helps dogs properly absorb and utilize various proteins in their diet. Studies indicate that a developing puppy with a diet that is deficient in isoleucine tend to be 30% smaller in size and overall development than those who receive proper supplementation.
L-Methionine	L-Methinone is an amino acid that is important to several canine body functions. Typically prescribed to help lower the pH level for improved urinary tract health, it can also act as a powerful antioxidant and has been proven to counter histimine production. This is an important factor in countering a dog's natural allergic reaction to both external and ingested allergens.
Cystine	Cystine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that helps form healthy skin, hair, bones, and connective tissue. It is also required to make glutathione, one of the natural antioxidants that fight free-radical damage (glutathione detoxifies the liver). Cystine works closely with glutathione to remove toxins from the liver. In fact, cysteine is often used in emergency rooms to treat acetaminophen overdoses in dogs, which are known to cause liver damage.
Phenylalaine	An essential amino acid that has analgesic properties and promotes the natural production of endorphins. Often recommended by veterinarians as a natural alternative to anti-inflammatory medications for the treatment of arthritis pain and other chronic pain conditions.
Glycine	An amino acid that is essential in maintaining healthy central nervous and digestive systems. Glycine is used in the body to help construct normal DNA and RNA strands—the genetic material needed for proper cellular function and formation. It helps prevent the breakdown of muscle by boosting the body’s levels of creatine, a compound that helps build muscle mass. Without glycine dog bodies are not able to repair damaged tissues and heal themselves.
Essential Core Vitamins
Vitamin A (beta carotene)	Beta Carotene is precursor to Vitamin A and plays a vital role in canine health. This powerful phytonutrient strengthens the immune system in adult dogs and encourages healthy immune system development in puppies and young adults. Studies have shown that Beta Carotene is important for healthy skin and hair coat, normal bone development, reproductive health, general eye health, and cancer prevention.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)	Thiamine works with the other B vitamins to change protein, carbohydrate, and fat to energy. It is especially vital for changing carbohydrates to energy. It is a key factor in the healthy functioning of all canine cells, especially the nerves. Vitamin B1 helps the body cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)	Riboflavin plays a crucial role in certain metabolic reactions, particularly the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, which is "burned" to produce energy. They promote the first steps in the metabolism (breakdown and production) of glucose and of fatty acids. The metabolism of some vitamins and minerals also require riboflavin. Riboflavin is essential for tissue respiration and the generation of energy from the carbohydrates, acids and fats. It is important for body growth and red blood cell production and helps in releasing energy from carbohydrates
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)	Like all the B-complex vitamins, Niacin is important for converting calories from protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy. Niacin is especially important in digestive system function and promotes a normal appetite and healthy skin and nerves. Niacin is also very important to your dog as it synthesizes starch that can be stored in the animal's body's muscles as well as their liver, and as a result will also be used later on as an energy source
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid)	Pantothenic acid is known as the anti-stress vitamin since it is involved in the production of adrenal hormones and antibodies produced by the body’s white blood cells. Like other vitamins, it assists with metabolism and helps in the conversation of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy for the body. Vitamin B5 enhances stamina, and is involved in the production of neurotransmitters. Deficiencies of Vitamin B5 in dogs can cause fatigue, nausea and joint pain.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)	Vitamin B6 is important for hormone regulation, a healthy immune system, proper functioning of red blood cells, glucose generation and activation of genes. B6 deficiencies in dogs can result in kidney stones, weight loss, muscle twitching, tooth decay, skin lesions, anemia and stunted growth.
Vitamin B12	Vitamin B12, along with iron and folic acid, work to ensure that a dog's nervous system functions properly. It is also needed for normal cell growth. When your dog is deficient in vitamin B12, he/she may become sluggish. A lack of B12 can also lead to health problems such as anemia and eventually gastrointestinal disease.
Vitamin D	Vitamin D is stored in a dog's fatty tissues and the liver. It helps promote bone health and muscle and nerve control. It also helps regulate calcium in the kidneys and to keep the calcium level throughout your dog's entire body at a good level. Like humans, dogs have the ability to create Vitamin D from sun exposure. Dogs that are indoors most of the day may develop a deficiency of Vitamin D which can lead to bone disorders, sluggishness, and mobility problems.
Vitamin K	Vitamin K is used by the liver to produce clotting factors, chemical compounds used by the body to control bleeding and promotes healthy bone density. Dogs with liver or intestinal diseases have difficulty absorbing vitamin K and typically require daily supplementation. Vitamin K deficiencies in dogs can cause bleeding because of anticoagulation from ingested substances or conditions, and can affect bone proteins causing fractures and decreased bone density.
Essential Minerals
Iron	Iron is crucial to a dog's diet primarily for the health of red blood cells. Red blood cells deliver oxygenated blood throughout the body. Iron is also important for several enzymes in a dog's body. When the body is deficient in iron, red cells do not develop as they should. The lack of iron causes the cells that are produced by the bone marrow to be too small, and too low in oxygen-carrying features.
Magnesium	Magnesium has a number of important functions. It is necessary for the absorption and proper use of certain vitamins and minerals including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, calcium and phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. It is necessary for proper bone growth and is necessary for the functioning of many enzymes in the body, and production of protein.
Manganese	Manganese is essential for the proper use of protein and carbohydrate by the body, reproduction, and the action of many enzymes in the body responsible for the production of energy and making fatty acids. The symptoms of manganese deficiency include poor growth, skeletal abnormalities, reproductive failure, and loss of equilibrium
Copper	The body needs copper for normal growth and health. Copper is needed to help body use iron. It is also important for nerve function, bone growth, and to help body use sugar. Copper is a component of or a cofactor for approximately 50 different enzymes. These enzymes need copper to function properly. Copper is an essential nutrient that plays a role in the production of hemoglobin, myelin, collagen, and melanin. Copper also works with vitamin C to help make a component of connective tissue known as elastin.
