quote:

itchy dogs ? by DMHow many different foods have you tried? My lab has had similar issues and we think we figured out it's a food allergy, specifically chicken. The allergy leads to hives which leads to excessive scratching which leads to sores. A lamb formula has the same effect. Changed her food as well as the food for all the other animals to eliminate chicken/lamb formulas and have seen good results.


I second this. Most skin conditions on dogs are caused by food allergies. Does the dog also stink? If so, it could very well be yeast, which is almost always caused by food allergies. We had to put the wife's Pekingese on a raw diet to combat the damn yeast. All kibble has some sort of carb binder in it, this is the cause of the allergy in a lot of cases.

2nd changing up diet. We found that applying organic apple cider vinegar(in a spray bottle, mist it directly on the coat) provided relief, but the itching did not stop until we change our dogs diet. Also, don't bathe the dog too much, it can make the condition worse. When you do bathe it, use an oatmeal based shampoo.
