Hi Zoeysdad, I have 3 fur babies and a fur kitty. I am a human and pet massage therapist and aromatherapist. I used to take my guys to the vet for everything. I have a little guy that seems to have allergies, he licks his feet and will lick his tail and gets hot spots. My Yorkie had ringworm when we adopted her. One baby had cysts on his legs, and the cat had feline acne on his chin. The vet always prescribes antibiotics and ointments that always make my babies sicker. They would lick the ointment and get even sicker too. So I now I only use aromatherapy on my guys and they are all very happy and healthy. When they get a boo boo, I use my pet skin rejuvenator on them and they are better in days not weeks. It is safe to lick off too. Dogs can be allergic to so many things, corn, beef, pork, lamb, fish, eggs, dairy, wheat, chocolate, mold, feathers, dander, plastic food bowls and even bacterial allergies. Dog's skin normally has Staph bacteria. Usually, Staph bacteria doesn't have any type of affect on your dog though some dogs may develop a sensitivity to it causing an allergic reaction. They may get crusts on their skin and patches of hair loss because of scratching, similar to ring worm. If you would like more info on my pet skin care feel free to visit my website at
