Join the Club
We could probably start a club ~ there are many of us on the forum with itchy pups, mine included. Could be diet, flees, vaccinations, change in weather leading to dry skin. Whatever the cause, the question is how do we stop it?
This is what I've tried: flee wash x2 (sentry puppy wash with oatmeal) rinse with apple cider vinegar, changed diet to raw (only ~about 2+ weeks, wished I went longer), added more kefir, coconut oil, fish oil/vit E, egg to diet, brush daily, antihistamine (per vet reccommendation). Still have itchies. I just ordered Sh-emp oil and feed sentenials. <---- check out other threads on itchy pups and you will see this is a common reccommendation.
As for the cause, after reading some articles that carmspack has reccommended, I think Ruby's itchies are caused by vaccinations. Vet thinks dry cold weather, guy that sells our dog food-dog allergies, neighbor says the wool blanket she was sleeping on..... the list could go on. I could spend a little $$ and do an allergy test, but I'm trying feed-sentenials first. Good luck. If you figure it out and a solution please share.
