      About Megan Marshall

      Preface

      When our vet told us our much loved cocker spaniel Beckett was atopic, it was just a word to us. My initial response was okay, so what do I give him to fix this?

      It took me a while to realise that it wasn’t going to be that simple.

      Canine atopy is a life-long condition that is tricky to treat because there are many possible treatment routes and regimens and because treating it properly calls for an informed and co-ordinated approach on the part of the pet owner.

      To put it simply, you have to take overall charge of your atopic dog’s treatment.

      An atopic dog that is untreated or whose treatment is not optimal is a miserable dog. Which goes double for that dog’s owner!

      Often it can take a long while and many hours of research to sort through all the different treatment options and approaches out there and decide on the best way forward for you and your dog.

      I have travelled that route and I wrote this book to save you most of the trouble and speed you on your way back to having a happy and healthy dog!

      Good luck!

      Canine atopy—an introduction

      Although many chronic canine conditions (like diabetes and heart conditions) call for life-long treatment, it is unusual for there to be so many treatment options and regimens available for just one disease.

      The broad range of treatment options and combinations available for canine atopy, in both the realms of conventional veterinary medicine and complementary and alternative medicine, makes therapeutic decisions and long-term management of the condition difficult.

      You might find yourself seeing a number of different veterinary health professionals about your dog’s condition who all come at it from the perspective of their particular discipline, leaving you without a coherent management action plan.

      Since canine atopy is not curable yet and the condition has to be managed over the lifetime of your
