| Argh, they're still scratching! I posted a couple days ago. My babies are scratching! Like I said I checked and checked and checked, noooo fleas. I didn't see anything, I couldn't find anything. I went to the vet clinic and got some advantage and she said it works in a day and I would notice it if they stopped or not. And if they were still scratching to take one of them in, in a week for testing and check over to see what it may be. We gave them the advantage, washed all the bedding, vacuumed everything! Cleaned everything up in case it was fleas...It's driving me crazy, that they're still scratching. |

YT 3000 Club Member | What kind of food are they on anything with corn, wheat or is it envirmential. Chester has the itchies and I will rinse him off in the tub, anything new they have been exposed too. I wash all my bedding with all free and clear and use hypoallergenic shampoo on chester, he has very sensitive skin. Have you tried using a flea comb, they like to hang hear the rear, belly and the head. |

| They're eating Natural Balance. They don't come into contact with other dogs, except when Tila gets groomed or to the vets. Could it be dry skin? Maybe my dog shampoo? I use a gentle puppy shampoo. How would dry skin look would I notice anything? I may just have to take one of them in. Could it be the food, I thought Natural Balance was good for sensitive dogs and allergies? Thanks everyone!! |

| you could try some other grain-free foods to see if that helps. I remember my dog had a horrible itching problem as well when he was on a lower quality food. He doesn't itch anymore on Taste of the Wild. Maybe you could try it and see how it works? |
