Question
I have a Springer Spaniel dog that itches like crazy! we have tried every kind of flea shampoo, but none have worked! She itches one spot for so long that it turns red and starts to bleed. We have changed her dog food to healthy skin and coat. I will give her a bath, and two days later she will be covererd in fleas again! We have tried everything!

Answer
Ok Danielle- I have a plan for your girl.  Springers tend to have skin and allergy problems...

First off - Use the flea product that you and your vet have decided on :  Add this to your program:

Keep in Mind: ***** Fleas and other parasites have less effect on healthy animals...and they tend to live on pets who are unhealthy and/or have weak immune systems. And, as with healthy humans, healthy animals recover from illness faster and in the case of contracting parasites, are not likely to get sick. It's a matter of immunity. ********

Buy some Apple cider vinegar:
** Add a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar to the dog's water bowl.
TIP:
When bathing your pet, you can use apple cider vinegar to rinse his or her fur. Fleas don't like the smell or taste

Shampooing:

* A flea shampoo that contains pyrethrum or citrus oil is usually effective, and these additives are less toxic than harsh chemicals.

* When you shampoo your pet, wash around the neck first to keep fleas away from the animal's head.


* Before bathing, plug the dog's ears with cotton balls and put a dab of mineral oil in the eyes.

* Recipe for a gentle homemade shampoo for puppies and dogs with extra dry or troubled skin: 1/3 Cup Glycerin
1 Cup Lemon Liquid Joy
1 Cup White Vinegar
1 Quart of Water


Mix in a large bottle or a large shampoo bottle. Always shake the solution before use to mix the glycerin thoroughly.


* Many dogs have their skin conditions aggravated by frequent bathing. To give dogs a waterless bath, sprinkle on baking soda and brush off the excess.
Baking Soda is very safe!
