When you switch your dog’s food to a raw food diet for dogs, you can expect your furry friend to go through a detox. When the body receives nutrients of a superior quality than was taken in before, it tends to start getting rid of all the toxins and bad tissue that was building up in the body. This makes way for new and healthy body cells. It might be a little frightening at first when your dog starts to detox so prepare yourself for this. You dog might have symptoms such as runny or weepy eyes, wax build-up in the ears, runny or waxy stools, a hard casing around the stools, bad breath, itchy skin, cysts or sores and a few more. If you are concerned about your dog’s health take him to the vet, but tell your vet that you changed his food and that he is detoxing. You might want to rather try herbal remedies to soothe the symptoms of the detox rather than taking medication from your vet as this might defeat the whole point of detoxing.
