My dog has been scratching a lot lately. I've checked her for pests (fleas, ticks, etc.) but found nothing. What might it be and what can I do?


Answer
Allergies, I rescued a Lab they have a lot of Allergies we tried different food all high quality and ended up with verus white fish & potato with Omega 3, like a new dog, I found A specialty dog food store and the owner trains GSD & she' a nutritionist fish or lamb are the best for allergies and I mix a small bit of wet so she won't get bored, its more expensive than the store brand but it works out OK Annie ears 4 cups a day 2 in am & 2 pm, this food say the same but the owner told me to cut it pretty much in half because of no fillers & the insructions on bag are just a guide also she gets treats there, ones with no wheat I also mix cooked string beans & carrots with kibble & a bit of the wet, I try to stick with venison, rabbit or lamb, for wet, tried the fish, I' can only tolerate the kibble because you only smell a little fish but the wet smells like fish, she loves it I can't even look at tuna, when I got the greys they said an excellent supliment is sardines my oldest 16 1/2 has yet to have a sardine in this house, I also give cored apple slices & a raw carrot for treats, not to much unless you want her to get the poops (roughage) also the stools are now only 2x a day and allot smaller(less waste ) and her coat is beautiful, she was on death roe as too old & mange etc, people on the street that love labs ask what breeder I went to they want to use that kennel, when I tell them they can't believe it, also get some frontline don't wait for the fleas you don't want them in the house wxpensive, but my dogs aren't outside all the time and they can get thur the summer with 1 treatment any extra gets used the nexy year fronline does not expire and don't let the Vet tell you it does, I do my homework

How do you keep your dog smelling great between baths?

How often do you bathe your dog? Please list any products by brand name that you have found to be particularly good. Thanks to all who answer, and ten points will be awarded for the best answer.


Answer
I give my shih tzu a bath just about once every month, so I couldn't tell you from experience with her. On the other hand, I work at a dog kennel and we give baths to the dogs before they go home. If you use a sensitive enough shampoo, you can bathe your dog as often as you want. We use the groomer's edge product line (www.petedge.com). We use groomer's edge - midnight white on the majority of the dogs and Oat Mella on dog's with sensitive skin. They all smell really good and are really good for your dog's coat and skin. The gallons are a bit expensive but they are meant to be diluted a lot so you definitely get your moneys worth!
As for in between baths, they have lots of colognes for dogs. I would also recommend the same line. They have over 10 different scents along with dog deodorants. Hope this helps!
