Oatmeal baths—colloidal oatmeal has a soothing effect on skin without being drying. A bath in cool to lukewarm water can calm itchy skin. You can also soak your pet’s paws in an oatmeal bath for 5-10 minutes. Apple cider vinegar—the acetic acid in cider vinegar can inhibit yeast on the skin and, when mixed 50:50 with water, this solution can be sprayed on the skin or used as a soak for itchy paws. Epsom Salts—itchy paws can be soaked in a solution of dilute Epsom salts for 5-10 minutes a day to soothe that itch, remove allergens, and improve healing. Fish oil/omega 3 fatty acids—this one takes a little longer to be effective, but, if your dog or cat is prone to allergies, adding a good quality pet brand of fish oil to his or her diet can help to improve the skin barrier within 4-8 weeks. Chamomile or green tea soak—these teas can have soothing properties when used as a soak or applied to the skin.
