Red itchy skin and dry flaky coat are symptoms of allergies, friend, and bathing is not the complete answer. If you truly want to help your dog, investigate and find out what it's allergic to.





Step 1: Check ear flaps, around the eyes, between the toes, and around the lips and bottom. If these are all red, itchy, and have a cobblestoned appearance, you are likely dealing with a food allergy. If the belly, groin and paws are itchy and red, you are probably looking at an environmental/contact allergy. If you can check off all of the above, your dog probably suffers from allergies to multiple sources.





Step 2: Narrow down your options. Talk to your vet about a prescription, limited ingredient diet for dogs with food allergies. Eliminate ALL other sources of food intake (including cookies, table scraps, even bones and chews) that do not have the same ingredients and nothing else. Give your dog a few weeks to respond to this, or until you can see a major difference in the ithchyness and appearance of the previous symptoms. At this point, you can begin introducing new ingredients to its diet, one by one, and monitor for allergic reactions.





For environmental allergies, talk to your vet about antihistamine therapy. This can be used in addition to limited ingredient diets to get the symptoms under control. Regular bathing with any hypoallergenic shampoo (once or twice a week), and daily cleaning of the feet and belly (Johnson's baby wipes work great for routine cleaning) to remove allergens from the skin and face are a great way to minimize exposure, while the antihistamines do the rest of the work.





Getting your dog's allergies under control will not only help eliminate the irritated skin, but will also help avoid nasty skin infections, ear infections and injuries, eye and mouth injuries from rubbing the face.
The simple answer is Malaseb. The more complicated answer is to find what's causing the problem, and quickly. See a vet who can do blood and scraping works to determine the cause then take it from there.
Dr Johns Medicated shampoo works really well
Malaseb is a fairly good alternative.
Please take your pet to the vet to find the cause of the red itchy skin and dry flaky coat. Then follow his/her recommendations.
