My dog won't stop scratching! What helps environmental skin allergies?

Question

My Miniature schnauzer seems to have Allergic Dermatitis, if it is caused by his environment, what advice could you give to help him to stop scratching insistently? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Male | neutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 20 lbs

You can try and bathe him more frequently (once weekly) with a shampoo used for allergies and supporting the skin with supplementation. I would recommend the following products: -Douxo PS Calm shampoo -Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent -Welactin fish oil capsules (or another fish oil brand) If there is no improvement with over the counter products, I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at him and consider other options like Cytopoint or other supplementation / topical therapy. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions / concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
