Pet's info: Dog | Basset Hound | Male | neutered | 4 years and 8 months old | 50 lbs
I've got a basset hound with what seems to be a common itch/scratch issue. Constantly scratching, but no bad hotspots or rashes. I've heard of vetalog. Is this a safe option? Does it only get administered by a vet? Thank you

Vetalog can have a range of side effects and can only be used with a veterinary prescription. Your vet would need to fully assess the underlying nature of his skin condition to determine if it is likely to respond to such treatment and then discuss the risks and benefits with you
