Hi, my dog is currently having bad allergies - suspect either chicken, grass, hayfever or dog nuts! There are certain human antihistamines that you can give dogs but give a vet a ring and ask to be sure. I give my dog 1/8 of a Zirtec tablet. She weighs 4.5kg.

The best thing I have found for itching is to run a luke-warm bath. Pour lots of 100% oatmeal in and lots of baking soda/bicarbonate of soda. Let it all set in bath for 10 mins and then put the dog in for 10-15 mins - rubbing the oatmeal onto the particularly itchy areas. Gives them great immediate relief for a good few hours!
