It can be tough to watch your poor pet sit and be itchy; you want to do something about it. Bathe the pet often if it has dry flakey skin, and find a shampoo that won’t make their skin crazy. I like tea tree shampoo, and the dogs seem to enjoy the relief it offers. Make sure your home is parasite free, or you are waging a losing war on the fleas. Try to identify and food related items that may be causing the issue. Table scraps and cheap dog food may be on the out if you have some dog allergies on your hands. I don’t like anti itch creams on the dog’s body, but will put them on the lower limbs and paws if a rash is developing.
