Answer #1

There are food and contact allergies that make a dog itch…food is one you have to find via elimination…(some dogs quit itching if put on a grain free kibble)…Contact allergies are hard to pinpoint…carpet, grass, dust, there are a million of them.

One way to keep her skin and coat healthy is by adding Omega’s to diet via fish oil caps…(they are inexpensive…you can get them at Walmart). They may not make her quit itching, but they do help in keeping her coat and skin in good shape.
