I am sorry to hear about your dog! I would recommend the Duoxo Calm line of products, https://www.douxo.com/us/douxo-solutions/douxo-calm , a fatty acid supplement such as Welactin, and I would talk to your vet about an over the counter antihistamine such as Benadryl or Zyrtec https://www.petcoach.co/search/?query=can%20i%20give%20benadryl https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/.

It sounds like you may need a prescription strength medicine to help your dog become more comfortable. Your vet will need to examine your dog to ensure they are otherwise healthy (and to start a valid client/ patient/ vet relationship to legally dispense medicine) and then will decide which medicine would work best. There are newer products such as Apoquel and Cytopoint which may be appropriate. Your vet may also suggest an eye ointment to apply. You are welcome to request a consultation with one of the Boop by Petco veterinarians to prepare for your vet visit.

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Allergies can be very frustrating to manage since there are many causes (flea bites, food, contact, inhaled). The easiest cause to resolve is to treat Poli and the environment for fleas. Discuss antihistamine use, hydrolyzed diets, allergy testing and food elimination trials with your vet to rule out other causes. An e-collar (cone) can be used to prevent excessive licking or chewing. A colloidal oatmeal bath may also soothe itchy skin and an essential fatty acid supplement, such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps, may promote healthy skin and coat.

It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to control a pets allergies with access to medications through your vet. If you are looking for an affordable and effective treatment, then ask your vet about a product called Apoquel. It has grown immensely in its popularity among pet owners because of its reasonable pricing and effectiveness in controlling canine allergic dermatitis. Also I know you probably are already aware, but finding out what the allergen is and either avoiding it (when possible) or getting skin allergy testing and subsequent allergy shots are often needed to truly control a pets allergic condition. However as I mentioned earlier, Apoquel acts to stop the itch in pets with allergies as long as the pet is on the medication. Another thing you can do is to give Ahi daily fish oils (pet formulated from your local pet store), which provides some natural anti-inflammatory properties. Here is a website link on canine allergic dermatitis for more information: http://www.vet
