Leishmania is an unknown disease to many people
Many dog owners have heard of leishmania, but not everyone knows exactly what it is.Leishmania is a parasite that enters the blood vessels of dogs through the bite of a sandfly (a small type of mosquito). Leishmania also occurs in humans or other animals. This sandfly is common in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea. That is why we only see this condition in dogs that have been in these areas. There are also dogs in the Netherlands and Belgium that have Leishmania. These dogs were infected on holiday or by import from abroad.
What is Leishmania?
Infected dogs have a reduced general resistance due to weakening of the body's immune response. Especially when infected dogs experience stress due to another pathogen, poor living conditions or incorrect nutrition, the infection flares up again. The parasite cannot be removed from the body by medication or other interventions. The best way to deal with these infected dogs is to avoid and eliminate stress.
Denkadog Hypo Sensitive helps to recover from Leishmania
Our advice is to give these dogs the right food. Denkadog Hypo Sensitive is free of animal products and easily digestible, which is why this is the right food for dogs recovering from a condition like this. The body is also not hindered by additives that the body itself does not need.

Solution for Leishmania
A helping hand for Leishmania is a hypoallergenic food without additional additives that we do not know for sure contribute to the health of the dog. Denkadog has a lot of experience with infected dogs in Italy. When these dogs enter the shelter, the vet treats them with a medicine that strongly reduces the parasite in the bloodstream. They are also immediately fed Denkadog Hypo Sensitive for at least 6 weeks. During this period, we fortunately see that these dogs recover to a large extent. However, the parasite never disappears from the body. When the recovered dogs leave the shelter, the owners are advised to continue this food. The dogs will be monitored after placement. If they are placed in the right environment, these dogs have a very good chance of growing old without the annoying ailments resulting from the Leishmania infection.
If a puppy has Leishmania I recommend Denkadog Growing Up Sensitive or Denkadog Growing Up Sensitive mini . This food is specially for puppies.
