Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. You can try switching Helios to a diet made for sensitive skin. Hills Science Diet makes a good one. Just switching to a grain free dog food will not cut it. If the Sensitive Skin Diet does not help, then I like one of the salmon based limited ingredient diets. Next, make sure you are using a good flea product on a very regular basis. Frontline Gold, Bravecto, Comfortis, or Nexgard I feel are the best out there. Start Helios on a fish oil capsule, human or dog quality. I would give him about between 1000-1200 mg twice a day. You can bathe him in a very mild oatmeal shampoo, using cool water. You can bathe him twice a week if it helps. If none of these seem to help, talk to your vet about the two newest & greatest allergy medications available to dogs now - Apoquel & Cytopoint.. I hope Helios finds some good relief soon. Take care.

I would recommend that you take Halo to a pet store, like PetCo, so you can try out different types of harnesses. There are many different styles, and the best fit will depend on many factors, including the size and shape of Halo. If you use it with a tie-out, then make sure that it can't cinch down tighter when she pulls, since that could be uncomfortable and may cause breathing issues.

For days where it is very hot, you do want to avoid taking your dog for a walk at the hottest parts of the day (mid-day) especially on paved areas as your dog's feet can get burned. They do sell dog booties that you can put on your dog's feet to help protect them. There are many different companies that make these, one example is https://www.amazon.com/HiPaw-Breathable-Dual-Boots-Protector/dp/B01HS2M7FI/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1496836452&sr=1-7&keywords=dog+boots. If she has no skin/coat issues, just a gentle oatmeal shampoo is fine for bathing when needed. Most dogs do not need frequent bathing unless they are getting very dirty and bathing too often can dry their skin out. I wouldn't bathe more than every other week unless needed. You can follow this with a creme rinse. I like https://www.amazon.com/Virbac-Epi-Soothe-Shampoo-8-oz/dp/B002CZHYPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496836697&sr=8-1&keywords=virbac+episoothe+shampoo and https://www.amazon.com/Epi-Soothe-Cream-Ri

Petco should have an inflatable collar that works like an e-collar. It looks a lot like an inflated inner tube and it helps keep her from being able to turn her head far enough to reach her incision site.

My personal preference, completed unrelated to Boop by Petco or Petco, would be Cosequin ( http://www.cosequin.com/dogs/ ) or Dasuquin ( http://www.dasuquin.com/en/products/#dog ). Both are made by Nutromax Labs.
