Maltese with severe tearing/licking/allergies

Question
Hi Marie!

Daisie, our 8 y/o F/S Maltese weighing in at around 10lbs is suffering from horrible allergies. We currently feed Blue Buffalo for small breeds (we also have another Maltese, Lillie who is 1.5 y/0 F/S with no problems...yet). The vet has given her shots and pills, but is is temporary. I also have her bathed every week and the shampoo and conditioner I purchased from the vet. Daisie has severe tearing and she chews her feet constantly (her paws are now stained). We'd love to find something that would work, instead of only temporary fixes. We also by treats that contain no corn as that seems to make her situation worse. I look forward to hearing back from you. I do not have any pics on my work computer but will send some to you once I arrive home, I hope that is okay.

Thanks a bunch!!

Christy

Hello Christy - I would love to help you!!!  The options, that I will give you, are SAFE, Natural , and low cost.
NO more shots from the vet.... they don't work for very long...
( as you know)

Ok, continue on the Blue buff - this is a good food for her.  I bet she has Mainly environmental allergies and a few food allergies, too.
1.  Please order some Flora Force / Probiotic / EXCELLENT and fresh:
*give her 1 per day ( for at least 2-3 months)
Hide in some WET food or cheese
order here:

Next - Please place her on an omega 3 - just 1 per day - long term - We love this one from Nature's Sunshine:
Small dog dosage is just 1 per day

********************************

And LAST -
Please call NuVET and order the NuVET wafers or Powder - YOU will need 1 full wafer per day - Long term - this is an Allergy Blaster and Immune System booster / helps environmental allergies and food allergies.
I would give 1 1/2 wafers per day - for 10 days and then go down to just 1 per day - most dogs love the wafers but we also have powder.
****
If you buy the wafers and your dog won't eat it / they will switch you for a powder at no charge:  They offer a 60 day  money back guarantee - even taste guaranteed. ****
