Fish oil is good for allergy dogs bc it has anti inflammatory properties, so it's good to be on it. I like Ark Naturals Royal Coat bc it already has the necessary Vit E that's needed to process the omegas.

Zyrtec works for some, and some not. Claritin is another 24hr pill you can try if Zyrtec doesn't work. If the allergies are year round, you may want to try Atopica (prescription). This is what Marcel is on and it was a miracle for him.

What food are you using?

I have used the Sentryhc Dermasphere Anti-Itch shampoo- you can buy it at Petco. It is amazing. I heard Oatmeal shampoo is really not good for dogs with allergies, so I looked around for something different and came across this- it is great! It is also cooling.

Oatmeal shampoos can make things worse for allergy dogs, totally agree.

I've used Malaseb, EtiDerm, and Duoxo shampoos. I can't say if one is better than the other, really.
