Cmoooooooonnnn!
I know you know better than that.
Chickens may eat corn, but that has nothing to do with dogs eating corn.
That's like saying, well deer eat acorns, saplings, and grass ... and wolves eat deer ... so I guess wolves can just "skip the deer" and eat acorns, saplings, and grass?
It's not about "rules," it's about TRUTH
And the TRUTH is demodectic mange is 1 part genetics and 1 part environment.
The symptoms of demodex are the result of a weakened immune system that cannot fight-off the mange mite, like a normal healthy dog (with a good immune system) can.
And the FIRST thing that compromises the immune system of ANY animal is NOT being fed a diet it was designed to process and flourish on ... and the second thing that compromises immunity is the HEALTH AND CLEANLINESS OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
I am giving the guy (and you) PEARLS here ... make no mistake ... so it's not about "my rules" at all ... it's about my understanding of how mange outbreaks occur ... and how to prevent them at THE ROOT.
I can't correct any dog's genetics ... so the genetic heritability of mange is outside my control or any advice ...
But I also know that these other, underlying factors play a VITAL role in any dog's likelihood of coming down with the problem.
So, what I am saying (and you might want to actually listen), is before ANYone goes to soaking their dog in noxious chemicals to treat mange, they should FIRST examine what they're feeding ... and the environment ...
That is nothing but THE TRUTH ... and BEST PRACTICE ... believe it
