THey say to bathe them frequently to get the allergens off the skin, I use a hypoallergenic shampoo on chester he has very sensitive skin. I would also invent in a air cleaner that might be a possibility, they can be very itchy doggies. My vet told me if the temaril p helps the ithces it is not food related, it has prednisone and benadryl in it and the prednisone will make them urinate more.
temaril p is prednisolone not prednisone which prednisolone is easier on the liver and tavist not benedryl and tavist is an antihistamine

do not start with fish oil and acv yet you need to do baby steps one thing at a time and some dogs are allergic to fish oil so first start with food and nothing else for 12 weeks and only introduce one thing at a time for a 2 week period or you will be totally confused and not know what did and didn't work and yes bathing weekly for environmental allergies is important but first we need to rule out food
