Oatmeal is a great natural remedy for itching! If you have some normal oats hanging around you house, you can grind them up in your blender or food processor (coffee grinders work too but harder to clean.) Then you can either add it into some warm water for a bath like situation or make it into a bit of a paste. I would let it sit for about 5 to 15 minutes. If they are long haired I am not sure how easy it will be to get out (so bath method might be best) but I use this technique on myself when my skin gets really bad. It doesn't always fix everything but it can help!
I am not sure how safe this is for dogs (since I've never had to use it) but perhaps you can use a marigold spray to help keep the flies off the dogs? |
