Successful treatment of skin disorders requires identification of the underlying cause. Not surprisingly, many treatments for skin diseases are applied directly to the skin surface. Examples of products applied directly to the skin include antibiotic ointments, corticosteroid preparations, medicated shampoos, and topical insecticides. Local ointments, gels, and sprays are best used sparingly so that your dog does not lick off excessive amounts. Systemic drugs may be needed to treat some disorders. These include whole-body antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics, hormones, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and other anti-inflammatory drugs. As with any treatment program, make sure that you read and understand all directions for using the prescribed product, including how to apply or give it, how much to use, and how often it should be administered.

If you do notice any behaviour or skin conditions that seem out of the ordinary, it’s important to bring your dog to the vet for a check up.
Many skin conditions require professional treatment to resolve and keep from getting worse.
You may see your dog licking their paws or other areas of the body to soothe the irritated skin.
Some of the most common skin disorders in dogs include bacterial skin infections, environmental allergies and parasite allergies.
In fact, when a skin disease is left untreated for a while, the condition can often become complicated and significantly more serious.
For example, an allergic reaction may become secondarily infected with bacteria, or a bacterial infection may also become infected with yeast.
Your local vet nurses and vets will be able to take a look at your dog’s coat, skin and general condition to see what might be causing their discomfort.
The more information you can provide the better, so your vet can make a full and accurate diagnosis of an allergy or skin infection.
Information on your dog’s diet – including any recent changes to food or snacks
The types of symptoms you’ve noticed – this could include things like a dull coat, hot spots of itching, flaky skin, hair loss, scratching etc.

Avoid your dog’s triggers if you know what your dog is allergic to, it’s best to try to avoid those factors as much as possible. Regularly de-flea them, as well as other pets and your home. Avoid walking them when the pollen count is high. Avoid walking them in long grass, or rinse them off well afterwards. Feed them a diet specially designed for sensitive skin, recommended by your vet. There are certain medications that can be used to reduce itchiness, such as Steroid tablets and spray, Lokivetmab injection, and Oclacitinib tablets. Most dogs with skin allergies benefit from a skin supplement containing essential fatty acids, a topical emollient shampoo, and daily antihistamines. Antibiotics may be needed if your dog has developed a skin or ear infection. Regular ear cleaning may be necessary if your dog is prone to ear problems.
