DOG?
THE QUICKEST AND EASIEST WAY TO KEEP YOUR DOG CLEAN, AND PROTECTED
FROM BACTERIA
A Good Tip For
Dogs With Itchy Skin
Author: Adam G. Katz
Now that summer is in full swing, many dogs are experiencing
dry skin and excessive itchiness. I know that my dog, "Forbes,"
certainly has been! Of course, the first thing you'll want to rule
out is fleas. But barring fleas, I've found that the best way to
alleviate itching is to:
Splash approximately 2 Tablespoons of either vegetable
oil or canola oil in your dog's food. The additional fat will give
your dog's coat a soft, shiny look and will help alleviate dry skin
and itching. You can also try an over-the-counter product you can
get at most pet stores called, Lipiderm
which works pretty much the same, but costs a bit more.
Something else you might try: One of my newsletter
subscribers writes, "Best thing for itchy skin is lemons. Slice
a couple of lemons in a litre of water and boil it. Let it cool
down for a day then you can spray it on. Works wonders and is cheap."

and oils to your dogs diet to alieviate itchiness. You can only
imagine the beautiful shine. of your dog's coat.
