Dog skin care
Vet visits, a new food and medicated shampoos are usually the first things owners try when the scratching starts. But for many dogs, the itch keeps coming back.
Most owners do everything right. They follow the vet's advice, change the food, buy the shampoo, and wait for the scratching to settle. Here's why the itch keeps coming back, and what actually helps.
Reason 1 of 7
Creams, sprays and medicated baths all work on the surface. That's where the itch shows, so it's where most of us start. But a lot of what shows up on the skin starts in the gut. When your dog's gut is out of balance, his skin can become more reactive to everyday things like grass, dust and pollen. That's the scratching, the paw licking and the patchy coat.
Reason 2 of 7
You know how it goes. The injection’s done, or the tablets are working, and for a few days he’s himself again. Sleeping through. Leaving his paws alone. Then, around the time the next one’s due, you hear the licking, the chewing, the thump of his back leg on the floor. Itch tablets and injections calm the itch. They just aren’t made to settle what’s setting the itch off underneath.
Reason 3 of 7
A new food often helps for a while. Then the itch creeps back.
Changing the ingredients is the right move, but if the gut is still out of balance, the skin will overreact to everything else.
Reason 4 of 7
Fish oil for the coat. A probiotic for the tummy. A spray for the red patch on his belly. Each one helps a little. None of them stops the itch coming back.
That’s because an itch like his usually has three parts working at once: his gut, how quickly his skin flares up, and the skin and coat themselves. Settle one, and the other two keep it going.
Probiotics · Burdock root · Psyllium · Pumpkin seed
Quercetin · Turmeric · Liquorice root
Salmon oil · Flaxseed · Vitamin C · Grapeseed · Seaweed
Reason 5 of 7
He licks his paws until they’re stained rust-red. He drags himself across the carpet just as your friends sit down. And there’s that smell on the sofa cushions you’ve stopped trying to scrub out.
Most owners tackle these as three separate problems, with a different product for each and a trip to the vet every few weeks to have his glands emptied.
They often start in the same place. When the gut is settled and stools are firm, it supports the skin and helps the glands empty naturally.
Reason 6 of 7
Gut support has to go in every single day, and that’s where most of it falls apart.
The powder turns into a crust at the bottom of the bowl. The capsule turns up behind the sofa. And if he’s on a special diet for his skin, you can’t even hide it in cheese.
A supplement he won’t eat can’t settle anything. It has to be something he sits and waits for.
Reason 7 of 7
A gut that’s been out of balance for months won’t settle in a week. Many owners notice firmer stools first, then quieter nights. The skin and coat usually take longest.
