In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), Food Therapy is often part of an overall treatment and health maintenance program. Foods can be used to balance innate Deficiency or Excess which may characterize certain breeds of dogs. Brachycephalic breeds, such as French bulldogs, have short noses which make air exchange difficult for them. This predisposes them to weakness of the Metal element. Food therapy designed for year-round treatment of chronic health conditions presented by patients can be selected as a conservative approach that will treat multiple medical conditions with a minimum of other therapies and hopefully maintain optimum health year-round. Diet design to provide Food Therapy for this breed needs to address the dog’s constitution, weak Metal element, Jing Deficiency and seasonal changes that exacerbate the brachycephalic syndrome.
