| Update on Peanut Well some of you know Peanut has been having some itchy problems! He is doing pretty good!! I don't know if its bc of the weather, maybe cooler weather = non itchy dog? Who knows I took his wet food away 100% (about 2 weeks since the last time he ate some) I noticed just by doing that he itches maybe 80% I crush his Acana up and mix it with some coconut chips, and some missing link.. I also gave him a bath with this really good shampoo last weekend, it some special skin shampoo its blue. I dont remember the name.. Anyways! DH even notices Peanut hasn't been itchy as much!! Im almost safe to say that it was the wet food, but who knows- the vet did say he has allergic dermatitis

| I hope he gets over that soon. I have noticed over the past few years that mine gets itchy only in the fall.

| Good news. Hope Peanut gets some relief. It is awful when we have to keep trying things and elimination trials to see what helps. My poor Noah (RIP) suffered from extreme reaction to fleas. One bite could set off a chain reaction of scratching, chewing, and bloody bald spots. He lived to be 18 so he was very healthy basically he just had ultra sensitive skin. So we had to be very vigilant about any changes of diet, shampoo, medications, having the carpet cleaned etc. I know how crazy I can get when it comes to finding something, anything that will help. It is worth it to see them sigh with peace and snuggle down to nap with out the scratching and chewing.
