Winter allergies for White German Shepard

11:59:04

Question
I have a White German Shepard. We live in Missouri and as the season starts getting cold she starts to scratching and biting herself until she bleeds and looses hair. The Vet is no help. We've spent hundreds of dollars. Benidryl is no help. Quartizone little to no help. Vet implies diet changes and fungus. All BS. She is a month shy of 3years old. Come summer time everything is fine and dandy but nobody sleeps in this house during the winter because of the constant scratching and biting! Please HELP.

Answer
HI - I am glad you did see the vet for a diagnosis...I can help - very minor problem.... She drys out in the winter from your heat and the dryness of your home:  Easy fix.

Ok, let's get a humidifier in your home - place 1 or 2 of them in different parts of the house...Rotate them every few days as to not build up too much moisture and thus Mold growth.
YOU have a very tight and dry house?  I bet that is one of the major problems here.
You can also take 2-3 pans ( big pans) of Water and place them UP high around the house: don't let the pets drink the water:
This will also add moisture to the air.
Re-fill the pans every 4-5 days with fresh water.

OK, that is my main answer for your problem:
NOW I have a few supplements that will help , too!!!

1.  Add some Salmon oil/ MUST be PURE salmon oil - give her 2 tablespoons per day - mix into her food.
START her on 1 tables spoon and go up to 2 per day after 4 days.
Wonderful for itching, coat and even good for her joints.

2.  The NUVET Plus is a allergy Blaster and Immune System booster.
Also, helps to reduce the itching and dry skin.
Give her 2 per day for 30 days - then she can drop down to just 1 per day:
NUVET is Wonderful and I refer 90% of my clients to the NuVET products...
Guaranteed for 60 days - NOT happy?  you can get your money back...
It cost about .60 cents per day for most dogs - MOST dogs only need 1 Wafer per day.
HERE is the ordering info

NuVET also makes a GREAT Tea tree oil hot spot shampoo - you can use this every 10 days - makes a nice soothing and healing bath.  Smells good , too.
I believe it is 10.00 for an 8 oz bottle.  This would last you 4-6 months.
