Itchy Skin

[Ken4155]

Hi fellow ABers, Milo here. Ken's in the shower so i'm taking thos opportunity to ask you wise people a question. Have any of you who have pets ever used a product by the name of 'All-itch and immunity treats; made by NutriPaw.

I have quite sensitive skin and though Ken tries his best, bless him, the tea tree 'Skin Calm' he sprays on me is a bit hit and miss. We were watching tv together last night and an advert came on regarding the above treats. While i don't usually take much notice of the ads, a bit like Ken, a cute little lady-dog was shown and, being a red-blooded male dog, it immediately piqued my interest.

As did the fact that the treats are salmon flavoured, YUM YUM! He has had me at the dog doctors and they gave him a tablet for me which he tricked me into eating. It worked - but it tasted bleedin' awful and i woudn't eat the second one.

So if you have any advice as regards the above mntioned treats - or any other tasty remedies - please let Ken know. I do't usually like him knowing i've used his laptop, but on this occasion it may be worth it.

Thanks in advance. Love, Milo.

Milo,

Has your dad tried changing your food?  Food allergy could be the cause of your problems.

Hi, Betsy here, I'm the good looking one on the right. I had some awful skin problems, yeast infections said the vet. Boss vet suggested some sort of skin scrape and blood tests to send off, cost about £500 and then not certain to find out the cause.

Then one of the other vets suggested changing diets, went on to grain free and along with some shampoo called Malaseb, it seems to have cleared up, although I'm now on tablets call 'apoquel' for the rest on my life.

Hello Milo : )

Thanks, folks (and Hi Smow); waiting for a few more suggestions before i show Ken this thread. To be totally honest with you, i was hoping for some feedback on those tasty-looking treats. I'm quite partial to Salmon, don't you know.

That said, Ken's having a salmon steak for his evening meal and he always cuts a bit off to put in my dish. I have him well trained.

And, if you don't think i'm being a tad too forward, Betsy, you're a bit of alright, aren't you?
