Dog with skin problems?

Hello, my foster dog came to me a few weeks ago %26amp; he has been itching up a storm. He was dx with dermititis from his previous vet %26amp; prescribed anti-biotics %26amp; another med I believe to be a steriod (label was wrecked when I got it). I do not believe in using medicines (drugs) unless it is absolutely necessary. Scooby was on a poor diet for most of his life, he is 6, but for the last month or so he has been on Canidae. I give him fresh herbs, supplements, Omega 3's, garlic, DMG, Organic apple cider vinegar, home prepared food, yogurt, cottage cheese, 2 homeopathic pearls, %26amp; I use flower essenses for skin %26amp; allergies. I don't know if there is anything else I may have missed. He is on Frontline (applied before he arrived), %26amp; he came in itching so it is not something just here. It could be his horrible diet of 6 years of Kibbles %26amp; Bits. thank you for reading %26amp; any suggestions.

Dog with skin problems?
yuck kibbles and bits is one of the worst if you even would want to call it food....im not familiar with canidae food, cause its unavailable in my area. just make sure there is a meat meal as the first ingredient, i recomend duck and oatmeal for skin problems. things to avoid are byproducts, soy, wheat, corn, dairy, beef, dies, bha, bht, and ethoxyquin. food that has naturally occuring digestive enzymes will help your dogs stomach out, help him absorb nutrition more, and will increase immunity. if you are feeding supplaments, your dog food is not giving everything. there should be no need for supplaments. id probably say look into a different meat thats in the food cause chicken and beef and sometimes lamb causes allergies. and sheese and dairy you are feeding him isnt helping much either. try out eagle pack holistic select duck and oatmeal formula or the anchovy formula too. the results will take 2 weeks to a month to see...and then the overall transfomation will occur within 6 months.








**edit** you dont seem like the person to do this but NO TABLE SCRAPS and human food, they can not digest it and it just causes more problems.
Reply:I don't know if Canidae makes one or not, but I would put him on a grain free diet. Lots of dogs clear up without grains in their diets. Other than that, everything you are giving sounds good, I would also add MSM.
Reply:I feed eaglepack to my dogs an innova Evo. www.eaglepack.com


for allergies, I would give him a 1/2 to whole tablet of chlortrimeton 2 x daily and cut out all the other stuff, except maybe kelp.


Kelp Products of Florida is what I use, has all the trace minerals, etc. grows new hair, increases pigmentation healthier dogs truly. Also maybe some enzymes ~ nuzymes...
