Dog Allergies, Diets for Dogs, Sardines & Tofu

Allergic dogs need special diets, and here's one to consider:
Tofu & Sardine Diet
This diet was formulated by Dr. Ihor Basko and is taken from his book, Fresh Food & Ancient Wisdom.





Don’t use this Tofu & Sardine Diet if your pet is allergic to soy or fish. It is not a complete diet and should be used for 6 weeks max.
• ½ cup firm tofu (minced)
• ½ cup zucchini (cubed)
• 1/2c cup cooked barley or white rice
• 1 tsp sesame seed oil
• 2 tab ripe avocado
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp parmesan cheese
• ½ cup sardines (in olive oil or water)

Stir fry the zucchini in sesame and olive oil for few minutes. Add tofu and continue stir fry for 5 minutes. Add rice, barley, avocado and parmesian cheese. Continue cooking for 5 min. Remove from heat and cool. When body temperature (40 C), stir in sardines and serve. Makes two meals for 10 kg (25 lb) dog.

Dr. Basko's book is full of useful recipes and information on using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help dogs with allergies and other chronic health problems.

If your pet is allergic, ask your holistic veterinarian for help with diet and herb recommendations.
