allergies in lab dog;

Question
QUESTION: Hello!  I have a 10 year old Labrador retriever.  We moved to Oklahoma and ever since, she has had really bad skin allergies.  Her skin gets flaky and she looses hair.  Last summer we paid at least 1500 in medicine from the vet.  I thought that she was cured, but it has started up again after being symptom free for about 4 months.  One of the vets that we took her to, had a skin lab test taken and she had a yeast infection and a bacterial infection.  Is there anything that you know of that can stop this process.  She is visibly uncomfortable and I have taken her to almost every vet in a 2 hour radius.
Thank you in advance for your help!!!!

ANSWER: Hi Chelle,  We are dealing with Environmental allergies and possible food allergies, too!
POOR kid -  What foods do you feed your dog ( brands)?
Also, is she on any medications right now?

Get back to me and I will help.

Thanks

QUESTION: Hello!! Thank you so much for your help! My poor little girl is so itchy.  She eats beneful brand radiant skin, I believe it is called.  It is supposed to be good for skin.  She is not on any medication.  I hate to even put on her Flea meds with her skin itchy.  Any ideas would be wonderful, thank you again!

Answer
ok, I have help for you two!  Follow this and you should see great results in less than 3 weeks.
All natural and low cost, too.
First, No more of the Beneful Brand --- too much corn and junk fillers.
HOW about looking for Wellness  Core Senior or Innova Evo Senior---  If you can't find them, then look for Merrick Before Grain or Solid Gold Brand.
You can mix the Beneful and the new food for 2 weeks and then go 100% to the NEW quality food.

Next - here is my STOP the itchies kit ( Supplement treat and a spray)
Here is my Bulldog itchy kit - Read this post - you can use the NuVET Plus supplement and the Tea tree oil sprays.
