just heads up we do see a dermatologist and we have done holistic, you name it - ok nordic naturals is the best fish oil as it is the most pure with no mercury as mercury will cause itching in dogs and not healthy for them. If mild environmental allergies then using fish oil with antihistamines like benedryl they work well together but only in mild environmental allergy cases. Usually antihistamines do not work real well in dogs but in combination with fish oil (fatty acid) it can work for some. The only caution i have is while rare fatty acids can trigger pancreatitis in dogs susceptible to this and yorkies are susceptible to pancreatitis and my dexter almost died of this so i avoid the fatty acids.
