My Dogs Itching Licking Biting
My dog max, is a german shepard and he is always licking and biting and itching, all the time, and I am so distressed at his condition but don't know what to do about the situation,
I am tired of him taking the medications the vet gives him and now want an all natural fix for his problem. He is currently eating "pedigre dog food" and eats those purina dog chicken strips, and bacon beggin strips. He has been on these items since a pup, but now he is getting worse, and biting and licking more. What natural things can I use on him to improve this condition? I read on this web page about ACV, maybe I'll try that to see if it works. I am now using "tea tree" oil diluted an a cotton ball and putting socks on his feet! I need help. Thank you buzybee

First put the dog on a good diet. Commercial food is full of grains, sugar, toxic meat meals, synthetic vitamins, chemicals, rancid oils & toxic preservatives. I reccommend finding a holistic vet to coach you in raw feeding. The commercial food is killing your dog. Pedigree is horrible. It would ALMOST be better to serve him Happy Meals from McDonalds.

I also have a dog that suffered badly with itching vet put him on quarter zone tabs but he continued to itch, I put him on sulphur powder 1/4 of a teaspoon for 10 days, he now doesn't sit there crying and scratching, sulphur cleans the blood, I am still trying to find the right dosage per kilo/pound of weight, as I still give him 1/16th of a t/spoon every second day.

Buzybee, your dog's body is starting to react to all those years from eating bad food!
Pedigree and Purina are bad! Read the ingredients and you'll see that it says by-meat product, which means that isn't meat that your dog is eating! Check online and you'll see what it is! It's disgusting! My dog ate Pedigree and other bad foods for over a year (before he used to eat the Merrick's brand) and since he started eating food with meat-by product, he started to itch, his skin got flaky, it came to a point that he would literally scratch himself the whole day!
Change your dog's diet!
