Dog Food - Itching dog / How about Innova EVO food

Question
QUESTION: My dog Mya is 2 years old. She scratches all the time...I've taken her to the vet and he told me it was a flea bite allergy but she has not had fleas. He gave her a shot & steroids to take along with an antibiotic. This only helped a little. She's a Lab/Shepherd mix, 2 and a half years old. She weighs around 60lbs. I currently feed Purina dog chow...I was wondering if there was something I could feed her that would be better for her skin.

ANSWER: Lacie, I can help! Glad you did see the vet for a diagnosis...

Yes, I would make a food change, add some oils, and add a few supplements to her diet.
What country are you in?  I can recommend some brands for you to find at the local pet store.

Let me know

QUESTION: I live in Pennsylvania

Answer
Oh Boy!  I wish the vet told you about the grains and corns that are in the Purina Dog Chow.
YES, I can help you and your Mya!
Let's get her off of the Purina and onto a GRAIN free dog food:
Look for Innova EVO or Wellness Core - at your local pet store.
Place her on a 50/50 mix of the two foods for about 3 weeks.
AFTER that, just give 100% of the NEW Grain free dog food.
If you can't find Wellness Core or Innova EVO, let me know and I will suggest a few others to look for.  It will cost more than Purina but YOU are what you eat ..... YOUR Mya will be very healthy and will be able to stay AWAY from the VET office.
POOPS will be smaller and you feed less of a grain free food.
MUCH more condensed with good stuff....NO junk.
The big poops are all the corns and junk in the Purina.


OK, NEXT - Please give her some PURE salmon oil - must be pure - you can find this at the local pet store:  Give her 1 tablespoon per day - mixed into her food.

Also, I would like to see her on a good Probiotic:
Nature's Sunshine Flora Force:
EXCELLENT to stop the itching and any rashes or hot spots/ even gets rid of EAR Infections...!!!
Give her 2 per day for 30 days , then go down to 1 per day for 2-3 months.
VERY safe and HUMAN grade - you can take it too...

Flora Force / Probiotic

Now - Immune system booster/ vitamins
for the Allergies ? / (? environmental and food allergies...- NuVET plus will help - They give a 60 day money back guarantee... Worth a try: No risk / safe and guaranteed...I have many of my clients on the NuVET.

** - start out with a 90 count and go on auto ship:
Give  her 1 1/2 NuVET wafers per day for the first 15 days , then you can go down to just one treat wafer per day:


NuVET will cost you about .60 cents per day/

 This is something she should be on for a lifetime.

LAST, we can add a few more supplements but I would like to wait and try the Food change, Probiotic Flora Force, Salmon oil and the NuVET immune system booster....
WE can add a few others, if needed.
