My little 2yr. yorkie, I think, has allergies because I have seen no fleas but she is itchy. I would give her about 1/4 tsp. She weighs alittle over 8lbs. (she is over weight) lol!!! But, check with your vet to be sure. Allergies are terrible. I have given my schnauzers the shots but even they don't last. I just hate medicating them all the time.
I hate medicating them too, but with the itching, I have no choice. Thanks for your input.
