When we got Riley he was sent home on Eukanuba puppy food and he scratched all the time even though he doesn't have fleas. I switched him to Innova (which is what Jo eats) and our vet recommended DermCaps to help with the dry skin. Even though Jo has a beautiful coat I give each of them 1/2 DermCap mixed with their normal breakfast of about a tablespoon of soft food over a few pieces of dry food. The DermCaps look like a vitaminE capsule so I just poke the end with a knife and drizzle the oil over the food. They've only been on them for about a week and Riley has stopped scratching already plus his coat is a little brighter. So, if your puppy is itchy you might ask your vet about the DermCaps...it might help relieve some of the itchiness while they adjust to a different food. I know switching Riley's food and adding the DermCaps have helped him. |
