    I need a vet who offers a strong Alternative Wellness program. I don't want
    To give my pet cyclosporin for mold allergies. Although very strong allergies there has to be a better way.

    Try Ashburn Farm Animal Hospital. Dr. Grasso is a holistic veterinarian. As far as the allergies, I would try to add coconut oil to your dog's food. It might help.

    I would also check with Dog Gone Natural (in Ashburn Village) - Ive heard they can recommend some foods/supplements that are natural and not chemical in nature.

    I highly recommend Dr. Grasso and Dog Gone Natural for this, too. My dogs previous owner/vet treated my dog for allergies for years, and it turns out it was the food he was being fed. As soon as I put him on a non-grain diet he's no longer experiencing any allergies!

    Acupuncture may help as well. It was a HUGE help to our last dog.

    Same thing with my labrador. Terrible skin allergies for years with the veteirnarian only suggesting Hills prescription diet which made it worse so then it was suggested we keep him on steroids indefinetly. I did some research myself and tried a grain free diet. This worked within weeks and he has been symptom free for over 4 years.
