itchy dry skin combat it with NuVET Plus wafers ; Fleas will go away with D.E and Nuvet;

Question
My dog is a sheltie cattledog mixed. He is 9 years old. I feed him natural choice for sensitive skin and stomach.  I also give him merrick can food at night. He does not get anything with wheat or gluten of any kind. He has been itching so bad, constantly scratching.  His skin is very pink.  Some fleas but not alot. I use advantix for that. I have been giving him benedryl for his allergies. He bites his feet alot. Swollen and itching. He gets 1 tablet 2 times a day. I do not know what else to do for him. I took him to the vet and he just said allergies, did not tell me what to do. I asked another vet and she told me to give him the benedryl. Do you have any suggestions?  I feel so bad for him. Thank you so very much.

Also, Get Organic - HUMAN GRADE D.E Powder : see here:

4.  D.E.  ( From the EARTH)
***  Diatomaceous earth (DE) works, and it's non-toxic not only to your dogs, but birds and other animals that pass through your back yard.


About D. Earth:

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring substances made up of crushed fossils of freshwater organisms or marine life. Insects like the fleas have a waxy coat which helps to prevent water loss through the body surface. What the diatomaceous earth does is that it slices through the coat of the fleas and as such causing dehydration and eventually causes death of the fleas, larvae and eggs.

DE is inactive in presence of water, it's more suited for use on dry walks, dry decks, dry patios, dry lawns. Outdoor flea treatment should focus on areas where your pets rest, sleep, and runs, such as doghouse and kennel areas, under decks, along fences and next to the foundation.  Use natural grade rather than pool grade diatomacious earth.  Natural Grade for pets.........
It is seldom necessary to treat the entire yard or open areas exposed to full sun. Simply sprinkle the Diatomaceous (DE) powder onto these areas.  

PLEASE NOTE****
If it rains, you will need to re-apply the D. Earth to your yard.

You can also use D.E. on your pets/ just avoid the face/ eyes...
NON toxic and very safe...( get a salt shaker or powder shaker...)


GARLIC/ In the NuVET - VERY small amounts do help!!
Also, give a NuVET wafer per day to your dogs...NUVET has a trace amount of Garlic in them...PLUS loads of other supplements that Keep the Fleas away...

Fleas hate the taste of a Healthy pet's blood... They JUMP right off.
If you have D.E powder they may not jump on at all.

CATS can use D.E., too!

As for the cats, you can use D.E for them too...
Just dust them 1 x per day with the D.E. powder.
Make sure you get the PURE and Plain D. Earth.   ( HUMAN GRADE ORGANIC only )
CATS have a NuVET formula too!!
Cats also can benefit from some NuVET feline powder, too.



Please let me know if you have more quesitons?
