For itchy skin on a dog, the first step is to make sure they are current on their flea and tick preventatives. Topical prevention like Advantix II and Seresto collars may be best at repelling fleas for allergic dogs. Longer-acting products like Bravecto chews will help make sure there is no break in prevention during the flea lifecycle. Fish oils are the best source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which have been shown to improve skin health and reduce inflammation in certain canine skin diseases. Oatmeal has been shown to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in both human and veterinary products. The most effective oatmeal products for dogs are shampoos. Non-shampoo topicals like a mousse product can be helpful in maintaining your dog’s skin barrier without a lot of tub time. Steroids, Apoquel, or Cytopoint may be prescribed by your veterinarian to provide your itchy dog relief. Special diet can also help, as skin health is closely linked to nutrition, and a well-balanced diet that meets the standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is essential. For dogs already eating a well-balanced diet that still need extra support, look for a sensitive skin and sensitive stomach diet. Sometimes, itchy skin on a dog can be linked to food allergies, and a limited-ingredient or single-protein source diet may be necessary. Always talk to your veterinarian about which method is best for your dog, as they can help guide you if you suspect your dog has food allergies, and they may recommend a prescription diet. Your vet may also recommend a medicated shampoo if your dog requires it.
