Hi Westie Rescue Folks;

We have a 6 year old male Westie, named General.

We have tried everything to help relieve his itching. We took him to a allergist for testing. The test came back showing 29 allergies. So, for two years we had been giving him allergy shots and the medication Atopica.

Even with all of this he was still brown on his legs and around his face, licking his paws constantly. The Atopica upset his stomach, so it was always a gamble if he would get sick or not. The vet even had us giving him a pill to coat his stomach five minutes before we gave him the Atopica. Sometimes it would help sometimes it wouldn't. It just made you miserable to watch him.

One day I was looking online for anything that might help and ran across the WESTIE DIET on your web site. We have been feeding him the diet for four weeks now and I am happy to say that he hasn't had a allergy shot or Atopica pill for three weeks.

When I first read the diet I was really excited, but I almost didn't try it when I found out I had to order the 'special' ingredients. We have already had spent so much on Veterinarians, medications and special shampoos. But my husband was the one giving the shots and he was ready to try anything! We saw improvement so quick, it was amazing!!

Thank you so much.

Missy Update (Original story below)

Hi, just wanted to give you an update.  Missy (on your Westie Diet Page) has been on the Westie Diet since March 18, 2005.  She looks so good today.  Her coat is full; she has no places on her feet or chest that do not have hair.  She will even let you handle her paws, which in the past hurt/itched so bad, she would politely take it back from your touch.  She has just done wonderfully on the diet.  I am enclosing a picture that I took last weekend on a camping trip where she enjoyed play hunting squirrels, lizards, ducks, and chipmunks.

Hi.

My westie Missy (14 months old) has had a problem with severe itching since she was about 6 moths old. Her little feet were blood red and she had lost all the hair on her legs, chest, and stomach. I have always feed her good kibble - no wheat, corn or soy. I tried her on Atopica, but she kept vomiting it up. We tried for 3 months to use it, but her stomach was just too delicate. In desperation, I got on the web and found your site. I found your Westie diet and figured that she could not get much worse, so I ordered all of the products that you recommend. We started feeding her the diet three weeks ago. My baby stopped eating her feet in 7 days and is now re-growing the hair on her legs, chest and stomach. My family is amazed at the thick hair that she is growing now. Between her toes is no longer beet red. Her hair has started growing the way it is supposed to. I am just wowed. She has had no more vomiting. She has had some diarrhea, but I expected that because I read that may happen as she stabilizes on the Dream Coat. I would recommend ANYONE with an itchy westie try this diet. I will definitely keep Missy on it for life! Thank you SO MUCH for publishing this diet! If it is ok, I am enclosing a picture of Missy in her fine looking coat…and getting finer every week!

To all of you at this website and to those people asking about the Westie Diet. At our wit's end, after five vets, and a miserable Westie, I found this website. We were ready to give in to all the medical allergy testing which I really did not want my dog to go through when I found the Westie Diet. You so graciously actually answered my email questions. My Spike was started on the diet over a year ago. He was at the point where he was having to wear four-legged jammies to keep him calm and to keep him from scratching himself bloody.

Between the diet and vigilant coat care, we started seeing results within about 2 weeks. It was gradual but he loved the food (my Shih-tzu eats it, too), no more throwing up that yellow bile, diarrhea, constant scratching and licking; AND he finally had grown his back so thick and long that he could actually be groomed. I have been through these problems with three dogs and for anyone who doubts this diet works, I would encourage you to do this for your dog. It has worked so well for Spike I've been tempted to do it for myself.! The expense that you feel will be involved is more than offset by vet bills and subjecting your precious Westies to constant medical testing.

Thank you for your help, your research and support of current Westie owners as well as those beautiful orphans needing homes.
