It was hard for him to find a long-term foster home as he required lots of roaming space. Not to mention people who can guide him through his behavioral issues \u2013 the consequence of Malibu not being provided proper puppy training.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Love the Voiceless (LTV), an animal shelter committed to providing humane rehabilitation and rehoming stray dogs, noticed this the moment they took him in. &#8220;He was extremely insecure. Very disorientated as he was raised as a house dog. He was emotionally broken from abandonment. It was very difficult to manage him as he was protesting on the leash by pulling very hard and in all directions,&#8221; said Joyce Wang, Marketing Supervisor of LTV.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After a few months of staying at the LTV shelter, Malibu developed skin allergies, making it harder for him to adjust and gain confidence. \u201cHe has incidences before, but it always goes away naturally prior. But the allergies got worse over time at the shelter. He has had Cytopoint shots,\u201d said Joyce.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cytopoint.ca\/about-cytopoint.aspx#:~:text=CYTOPOINT%C2%AE%20is%20an%20injection,your%20dog's%20own%20immune%20system.\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Cytopoint<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> is a proven safe injection that helps treat and control a dog\u2019s skin itches, which unfortunately did not work on Malibu. Because of this, his veterinarian recommended a vegetarian diet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">LTV signed Malibu up to take the Zen Vegetarian 90-Day Challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37622\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37622\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37622\" title=\"Malibu\u2019s skin condition before taking the Zen Vegetarian challenge\" src=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Before-Collage.png\" alt=\"Malibu\u2019s skin condition before taking the Zen Vegetarian challenge \" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Before-Collage.png 2000w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Before-Collage-1280x1280.png 1280w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Before-Collage-980x980.png 980w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Before-Collage-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2000px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Malibu\u2019s skin condition before taking the Zen Vegetarian 90-Day Challenge<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Zen Vegetarian 90-Day Challenge is a trial program of Addiction Pet that&#8217;s created for shelter dogs with meat allergies. Allergies toward farmyard proteins like Chicken, Lamb, or Beef are common. But there are rare cases where dogs are allergic even to novel proteins. A novel protein is a new kind of protein that\u2019s not usually found in commercial dog food.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>[<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/blog\/benefits-of-adding-novel-protein-to-your-sensitive-dogs-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>READ<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>: <\/i><b><i>Benefits of adding novel protein to your sensitive dog\u2019s diet]<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">100% free from animal proteins, <a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/shop\/zen-vegetarian\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Zen Vegetarian<\/span><\/a> is the perfect alternative to meat-based protein food.

Malibu had put on some good weight, maybe because his body is actually digesting the food more now as compared to the last time when he was on a meat diet.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Aside from a change in diet, Malibu was also given topical products such as moisturizing creams and medicated shampoos to soothe his skin irritations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Malibu continued to heal over time.
