Natural Remedies for Dogs with Allergies

If your Miniature Schnauzer is suffering with dog allergies, getting your dog relief from the discomfort of itching, scratching, redness and sores is a probably a top priority for you.

Dr. Andrew Jones of The Online Vet offers these helpful non-steroid options for helping dogs with allergies.

• Oatmeal Baths: Giving your Schnauzer an oatmeal shampoo with cool water will help ease even the itchiest skin. Leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes then rinse well. With the most severe allergies, bathe your dog twice weekly.

• Soothe it Topically: Calendula ointment is a herbal medication that has been successfully used to relieve the itch. Apply a thin coat twice daily to affected areas.

• Antihistamines: Benadryl is the most commonly used antihistamine. It is given at a dose of 1 mg per pound of body weight, 2-3 times a day. It is best to consult your veterinarian before using these medications. It often takes 14 days of using these to see if they are helping.

• Antioxidants: Vitamin E and Vitamin C may help: the Vitamin E dose is 100 IU per 10 lbs of body weight once daily; the Vitamin C dose is 100 mg per 10 lbs of body weight once daily.

• Omega 3 Fatty Acids Fatty Acid supplements are very helpful in decreasing the level of inflammation in dogs with allergies. Omega 3 fatty acids are most important along with the correct dosage.

  You actually need 180mg of EPA per 10 lbs. To get these high levels here is a good rule of thumb: 1000mg of fish oil per 10 lbs daily.

  Pure Salmon Oil provides a potent, highly digestible source of essential fatty acids and is loaded with the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA!

A strong advocate of Natural Pet Health Care, Dr. Jones created this supplement to provide our pets with everything they need to develop stronger immune systems to fight off disease.
