Relief For Your Dogs Itchy Skin

These warm summer months unfortunately bring itchy skin to our dogs. If your dog is itching the first thing you want to check for is fleas If fleas are not the problem here's a quick cure for your dog's itchy skin that might help:

Add 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil, grapeseed, or safflower oil to your dog's food. These oils will give your dog's coat a soft, shiny look and will help alleviate dry skin and itching. Plus the vitamin E in Safflower and grapeseed oil are good for the skin.

You can also try, "Lipiderm," or "Dermcaps" which work the same. You can find them at your local pet store.

Another remedy that I've heard works well not only for itchy dog skin, but to also prevent fleas is to cut a lemon and cut it in half and add to a pot of boiled water. After the water cools apply the lemon water to your dog's skin with a washcloth. It's supposed to work wonders for your dog's itchy skin, keep fleas away, and help keep your dog smelling great.
