Hi. My dog's experiencing frequent itching. She's under skin treatment and have done 3 session but nothing happened, no progress with her skin. Vet gave us a yeast infection tablets to be taken for 30 days, yet no imorovement. Could you suggest a home remedy or natural medicine that I could use for my dog's skin problem please? Thank you guys.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Mocha! I like Omega 3 fish oil for skin problems. It may not take care of the entire problem but will help. I would also try a medicated shampoo and conditioner. I would consider changing Mocha's food. If she has a food allergy, chicken is the most common offender. Try a food that contains fish, venison, beef or duck. Be sure that you do not give her human food or treats that contain chicken during the food trial. You can also try antihistamines to control her itch. I hope this helps! http://pet-supplies.drsfostersmith.com/search?w=nordic%20naturals%20omega-3%20oil https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=27307 https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=35790 https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/
