Riley's skin on his tummy gets dry and red when he walks through to much Grass! And, he looooves hanging out in the grass!!

I use Tropiclean:
Oatmeal & Tea Tree - Medicated Shampoo

And I wipe his belly down about every other day with Nutiva Brand Coconut Oil, which I got at my local GNC.

His vet said I could give him 1/2 a Benadryl in the morning and in the evening. I will occassionally give him 1/2 a Benadryl... but have been trying not to give it every morning.

The coconut oil Really seems to do the job, for him.
I was sprinkling some Cocotherapy Coconut Chips over his food,
but I ran out. I need to restock.
