Question
We have a 5 year old boxer who has suffered from skin irritations all her adult life. We have tried so many different things, we have her on a dry duck food which the vet recommended and and that doesn't seem to help. I would like to have her tested and have the shots done but the process is so expensive. She chews at her paws and makes them very red and irritated and her neck gets irritated in the summer from the grass and the cold doesn't help in the winter. I am totally lost. The vet also suggested that we do one Benadryl tablet a day, but I am not sure I want to give her that. She is 63 pounds and the only boxer I have ever had with allergies.

Answer
Hello Geri, Well you have been lucky because boxers are prone to skin and coat problems.  And, yes, they are very prone to itching and allergy problems, too.
Ok, sure let's get this gal on a good program for her mostly Environmental Allergies.

Let's get her onto a new food:  How about you mix the Duck food you are using now with Wellness CORE ( fish formula ) -  YOU can find Grain free Wellness Core at most pets stores..... ( LET me know if you can't find it)
DO a 50/50 mix of the Duck food and the Wellness Fish / Ocean Formula for at least 3 weeks.  AFTER that, go 100% to the new food only.

Give your gal 1 tablespoon of PURE salmon oil each day - mix into her food/  you can get Pure Salmon oil at most pet stores

Also, A MUST for this gal is the NuVET Plus Supplement/ Allergy Blaster and Immune System booster/  Please give her 2 per day - long term / VERY safe and All Natural ...
It will cost you 1.20 per day for 2 NuVET Wafers per day.
A bottle is 90 count at 55.00
ASK for the 15% off discount program by giving order code: 81098 and my name / Marie Peppers -
They give a 60 day money back guarantee.
YOU will see less itching within a few weeks.  It can take up to 50 days to see 100% of all the benefits of the NuVET -
Supplements are very safe but work slowly as they build a blood level.
