Dogs resting and scratching in a forest

Stop Watching Your Pet Suffer

The constant scratching, red skin, vet bills, and late-night worry... it's heartbreaking. Most owners guess at food triggers for years. You don't have to.

Your Pet Isn't Broken. The Guesswork Is.

1 in 5 Itchy Dogs May Have a Food Trigger

Skin issues, ear infections, yeast, IBD, colitis - food sensitivities show up in countless ways. (Olivry & Mueller, BMC Vet Res, 2017)

Endless Shampoos & Meds

You've tried prescription foods, antihistamines, medicated baths... yet the scratching cycle continues.

Disconnected Tracking

Most apps track food OR symptoms - never both, and never connecting you + your pet together.

You shouldn't need three spreadsheets to keep your family alive.

Yet here I was — running exactly three of them.

One for me — psoriasis flaring after 25 years of management. One for DJ, my Mastiff, whose pancreatitis sends us to the ER if a single wrong protein hits the bowl. One for Shadow, a cancer survivor who can't touch beef or lamb but thrives on fish — while fish alone would put DJ in emergency.

Same household. Three completely different safe-food lists. The vets couldn't connect the dots — spreadsheets and prayer were doing more work than any prescription.

After 25 years managing autoimmune conditions as an international-level athlete, I built ItchyPet — in collaboration with holistic practitioners in human and veterinary medicine.

No dogma. No judgment. Just your pet's data, your pet's patterns, your pet's answers.


How It Works

Three Stages of Discovery

From logging to insight — your data tells the story your pet can't put into words.

Stage 1

Symptom & Severity Tracking

Log your pet's symptoms with calibrated severity scores (1–10). Track duration, monitor visual trend lines, and see the true rhythm of your pet's responses over time.

Stage 2

Meal & Lifestyle Logging

Track what your pet eats at ingredient level — preparation method, source quality, exact quantities. Log exercise, environment, and lifestyle factors. Every data point becomes a clue.

Stage 3

AI Pattern Analysis

Our correlation engine maps your pet's diet against symptom patterns. Discover hidden connections — like chicken triggering hot spots 24 hours later — that no food diary could reveal.

The Cost of Guessing

Symptoms Don't Stay in One Place

Food sensitivities don't only cause itching. Left undiagnosed they compound into everything from skin and gut issues to chronic inflammation, behavioral changes, and — as emerging research now shows — even neurological conditions. And the list keeps growing.

Mounting Bills and a Suffering Pet

Every vet visit, every new prescription, every emergency trip adds up — but the real weight is watching the animal you love stay sick. You're paying twice: once at the clinic, again in the quiet moments when they just don't seem themselves.

Stuck in the Vet Loop

Vet visit → antibiotics or steroids → a few good weeks → relapse → back to the vet. Symptomatic treatment keeps buying you relief without ever revealing the root cause. The loop can run for years, and every lap erodes a little more of your pet's baseline health.

You don't have to keep guessing.

Success Looks Like This

Real outcomes from consistent tracking — not overnight miracles

DJ the dog

DJ — The ER Dog

Mastiff — recurring pancreatitis

Three 2 a.m. emergency vet visits. No vet could explain why it kept happening.

Tracking revealed the cascade: fish, lamb, hidden organ meat in pre-made raw food — plus exercise in warm weather as the final trigger.

No pancreatitis episode since May 2025. Consistently formed stools. Energy is back.

Shadow the dog

Shadow — The Itchy One

Cancer survivor — opposite triggers to DJ

Cancer survivor with dirty margins. His life depends on perfect food.

Can't touch beef or lamb. Thrives on fish, kangaroo, and some goat — while fish alone would send DJ to the ER.

Same household. Same feeding schedule. Two completely different safe-food lists — discovered through data.

Calm skin. Playful energy. Steady digestion. Fewer vet visits. Peace of mind.

Real outcomes from owners who stopped guessing. Works for dogs, cats, and other pets.
