What is a natural treatment for a dog that itches terribly?
I can't seem to find anything to help Goliath stop itching. I am feeding him fresh natural diet now and he seems to be getting better but won't quit itching the new hair growth. I am using tea tree oil and olive oil on his skin. He is allergic to most dog shampoos and products.
Dont make my mistake and let the vet give steroids without properly educating yourself about them.. My dog is currently in kidney failure due to prescribed steroids for itching. Kidney failure is a terrible thing, usually rapidly progressive and eventually fatal. Fish oil in the diet was recommended for the itching. I now have a holistic veterinarian I wish I had found much sooner. They advised me they could have helped a great deal through diet. Their home cooked diet (for kidney failure) is the only thing keeping her going right now. And its a very demanding routine. It includes organic safflower oil which seems to have relieved the itching. Look on the internet for holistic practicioners. Its a little more expensive up front, but not really in the end. And its worth it. Oatmeal shampoo and regular brushing and grooming is helpful. If you want to ask me more email if you like. Proceed through prescription with caution. Good luck.
