Mason_Gibbs Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Wheat is a big problem for my dog too, if he just eats a tiny bit he itches for ages afterwards.... I use Revolution which is not great for fleas apparently but my dog has never had a flea, derms also use COmfortis for fleas but after reading about some dogs reactions I stopped using it. I do use Permoxin spray daily tho which does flys, fleas, ticks and I am not sure what else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) It was a spot on treatment and we have no cats (unless there are strays but I haven't seen any)I think he is about due for another spot on treatment in the next week or two. thinking about changing foods to a sensitive skin one like science diet anyways? or should I just go with a normal science diet until I find what the problem is. Don't bother unless you actually know that's the problem. Allergic dog owners waste so much money self-diagnosing their dogs allergies.

Head to the Derm + 1 You need to do a proper food trial if you're concerned about food allergies. Changing foods will just make this more difficult in the future. If you're dog is so itchy you really should be seeing the vet, ideally a dermatologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my pocket is still on fire from when I tried to 'miracle cure Orbit'. Dermatologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
