I had a dog with a flea allergy and it is true that only one flea walking across the body can send the dog into an itching fit. Not all dogs are that sensitive but the ones who are allergic just become miserable with itching as the allergy just gets worse. The itching is caused by the flea it's self and not just bites. A steroid shot would help my fella but I had to get rid of all fleas, inside and out, to make him better.
I have never used Newman's food. I did look at it on their site. Organic is always a step above normal dog food. I couldn't find much info on their meats except it did say the chicken was not injected with hormones, steroids or antibiotics. It said they were on an all vegetable diet. Not sure what that means. It certainly will be an improvement over regular dog food. Did you buy the dry or canned for him?
You might also try using an organic or all natural shampoo and conditioner when you bathe him. Some dogs are just hypersensitive so covering all your bases will help eliminate allergens. |
