Both of my boys are itching themselves raw. One has itched his neck, under his ears and the other has literally itched raw spots on his back and butt. I've got tshirts and diapers on them so they can't itch themselves raw and I am putting hydrocortizone cream on their itchy spots.

I know they don't have fleas. I am pretty sure it's environmental allergies. The only thing is, they aren't really itching their paws like I would expect them to do. I gave them a bath last night with flea shampoo and then anti itch shampoo and it seems to have only made things worse.

Does anyone have any good tips for dealing with environmental allergies??

What do you do for dry skin on your pup??
