I just found this site and I'm glad I did! This has been very helpful thus far, but I have a specific question.

My little 4 yr old Toby has been itching for quite some time now. At first we were told it was dry skin, so we used a medicated shampoo.

Then we were told flea allergies. We have used flea collars, flea spray, frontline, pet armor, capstar, sentinel, and flea shampoo. We have no carpet - hardwood, concrete, and tile only! We used a flea spray on the bed and couches, and we had our backyard professionally sprayed twice. Even after treatment, he would still itch immediately afterwards. No relief.

He scratches his sides and his stomach and his ears. He licks his paws constantly. He bites around his tail. CONSTANTLY.

I will be changing his diet today. He was on IAMS, but I am going to try something more natural.

Any ideas at all?
