My dog gets fungal spots. What natural solutions address the cause?

You could add in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement to help with this. It helps to moisturizer the skin from the inside out essentially. Also you can bathe him in an oatmeal based shampoo and a crime rinse afterwards. Below is a link to a good omega 3 supplement that I like. https://www.chewy.com/vetoquinol-care-triglyceride-omega/dp/57308?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Vetoquinol&utm_term=&gclid=CP7d9Z629dQCFQgQaQodDMgNpA&gclsrc=aw.ds I hope this helps!

Those spots on Luma could be several things including allergies, skin mites, flea bites, ringworm (which humans can get) or a bacterial infection. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs, this can help improve the skin health. You may also try changing her diet to something like Royal Canin or Nutro as they are aimed at skin health. You can wash the lesions with soap once a day and rinse well (don't wash her whole body, just those spots). Protect the areas from licking or scratching and she may need to wear an Elizabethan collar at all times. If the lesions don't start looking better within about a week or if they get worse, have her examined by the veterinarian who may prescribe medications. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Treat the fungal infection as directed by your veterinarian first. Either essential fatty acid supplement would be good. Choose the one that Luna will eat when mixed into her food, is easy for you to buy and does not cause any GI upset.
