I'm not sure why you think stray dogs don't get skin infections, and if they do, it cures itself. That's not true. I have seen numerous stray dogs with horrendous skin problems, and some have had to be put to sleep due to the severity of the infection. Others needed to be treated to have it cleared up. Now some breeds of dogs are more prone to certain health conditions such as skin infections caused by allergies, and unfortunately GSDs are one of those breeds. I hope this helps.
