Natural remedies for Dog skin allergies.?

He's a St. Bernard and has skin allergies. We've taken him to the vet and had all kinds of tests run. The outcome is just that he has allergies. We've tried many thing, and I am tired of giving him high doses of allergy medications and steroids. I would like to know of some topical/natural things I can try to relieve his itching. I've heard essential oils and such work wonders. Also, I would need dosages/instructions for him. He's 150 lbs, and has long fur.

Natural remedies for Dog skin allergies.?
Have you tried changing his diet? He could be lacking some essential oils. My dog was always itchy and dry when he was on Natural Choice, several weeks after I switched him to Solid Gold the itching went away and his skin greatly improved. You can also add Canola oil to his diet (1T a day) and this should also help his coat.

Reply:My dog (German Shepherd) has responded extremely well to a product called SkinEze. She also eats AvoDerm Dog food which is specifically made to help with skin/coat conditions. I have attached a link for SkinEze. I have even stopped using it for a couple of days once in a while and she started itching after three days of being off. It took about a week of her being on it to stop the itching. Good luck. I know how frustrating it is. I went through all the meds also to no avail and a lot of out of pocket expense.
Reply:My dog has like the same problem. We giver her omeg-3 fish oil pills for like dry skin and it works to stop itching and dry skin. It makes her hair very soft, and it stops the dry skin

Reply:My poor doggie has had allergies for a while and we have had her go through the same battery of tests. I have just started her on nettles 1 capsule / day, and it seems to be helping. She's scratching less. I'm also washing her with a shampoo that contains tea tree oil.

First you have to realize that some or all of your problems stem from vaccinations.


Here's a good site to start learning about it.

Dr. Rogers has links to many sites showing the studies done on the vaccinations.
