| ![]() Some dogs are allergic to various things. A grain free food might be helpful. Also get an all natural shampoo and conditioner for her. Many dog shampoos have detergent in them that is drying to the skin even though they add moisturizers to try to counteract it. This is what I use: Yorkie Splash and Yorkie Shine | Yorkie Shampoo and Yorkie Conditioner It works wonderfully and it smells great. Some dogs are also allergic to fleas. It only takes one to make them crazy. You may never see the flea but the dog will scratch like crazy anyway. Any redness on the skin or dry patches? |

| ![]() It is not just that dogs (and cats) do not normally eat, nor can they properly digest, corn, wheat, soy, etc., as part of their mostly carnivorous diet, all of the above are largely GMO products, heavily sprayed with Roundup and/or other pesticides...all of which are bound to cause health issues whether it is immediate rashes, itching, digestive difficulties, and the like, or health issues after the problems have built up over time in less imediately sensitive animals...humans, too...for that matter. Science and chemistry do not necessarily enrich and improve our lives. ![]() |

| ![]() You might want to look for a skin and coat supplement. I give Gracie the regular formula of The Missing Link but there are tons of other brands out there. You might try a google search. Not sure about who sells what in Canada. Something with the Omega 6 in it usually works great. I go through Gracie's fur with a flea comb in the summer months just to make sure she has not picked up any fleas on our walks and of course I keep Advantage on her. She does not have a big sensitivity to fleas but my previous dog did. I would have to guess she has some sort of allergy but the Omega supplements will help relieve it. Finding the real source is important though. Look online for a grain free food. I buy most of Gracie's things online as we don't have a good store nearby. |
