Have your dogs been REALLY ITCHY lately?

nope. have had my doggy for about 10 years. he's in excellent health - just had a check-up. about 6 years ago i stopped feeding him commercial canned dog good. he gets deli cut meat, cheese, potatoes, peas, and such. No sugar. Fresh filtered water.

I'm convinced commercial dog food is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

yes, mine has had the same thing happen about 6 weeks ago-and he gets the best food. I can find nothing on him-nothing-not even red or rashy skin-but he is so itchy. I'm giving him extra fish oil-not helping a lot yet-but is helping some. A bath helps for about a week. The groomer said to change his food-that they could suddenly develop an allergy to it.

yep! Our dog is so itchy these past few weeks she's been living in one of those cones (Elizabethan collars)...poor girl! As soon as you take it off - as long as she's not distracted by eating or going for a walk - she's licking her paws, biting her legs, biting her tail, scratching, etc...even with the cone on she can tuck her tail into it to chew it into a bloody mess...it's horrible! She's always been a itchy, scratchy dog during the warm months but I've never seen her this bad...she even gets a bath every week with an excellant "stop-scratching" shampoo...I'm taking her to the homeopathic vet tomorrow to see if he can come up with a remedy to help her.

YES, I have flees

Very interesting! my neighbors dog would itch and chew herself raw this same time period. neighbor has her on allergy meds, ahs helped a bit. i have a puppy and he does scratch a bit and whimpers when doing so. i gave him two baths so far and have not seen any fleas.

My last dog had very sensitive skin. I switched to Nutro Naturals Lamb and Rice. Excellent stuff. My current dog eats it and his coat is so shiny it looks like a mirror.

There are some foods that don't have wheat or corn, which is often what makes them itch. I've had to experiment with our dog. some of the grocery store kinds the #1 ingredient is corn! I found one at Petsmart- Nutro Venison and I buy a canned venison/rice food because she eats better with a little canned mixed in.

mange is epedemic this year.......dip them in a pyrethrin solution dip 1 time a week and I think that you will see a great change in the itching of their skin.

Winter fur coming in. Temps haven't gone down yet. That's all. Have you ever shaved somewhere that when it grew back in it itched ? Same with dogs.

Aerosol nanobot like robts that are seeking an entry point..

Latest horror from above.

I found that apple cider vinegar works great on hot spots. I spray it with a bottle. However, if the skin is raw it can burn so dilute it with some water. My dog got a shot of antibiotics and was on some oral too. This helped in conjunction with the vinegar.

Nope, but I have.
