the vet can give you a special oil you put in their food that is a combination of different oils eg cod liver, flaxetc. its really good and makes their hair lovely and shiny. also dont use shaken vac as this can make the itching worse.

Specific fish oils (herring, salmon, menhadden) can have a wonderful effect on skin and coat problems, especially scratching and chewing. As far as a dosage goes, we follow the lowest human dose on these types of fish oils from say, Walmart or a health store. Alternately, you can look at 2 products, both world renowned for alleviating skin and coat problems in dogs and cats. One is called "Sasha's Blend" and is available only through veterinarians, another is called "Dr. Maggies" and you can find that at small independent better pet shops and feed stores. You can look either of these products up online and learn about dosage and results. Best Wishes K

It is fish oil omega 3 Or you can use flax seed oil. Good luck, I have the same problem since a friend brought his dog into my house with fleas. He was so inconsiderate!!!. No more fleas, but dry skin. Good Luck.

My poor Piper has been scratching furiously for about 3 weeks .I went to a health food store and bought Ultra Omega soft gels . It has fish oil, flax seed oil , and borage oil in the gels .I've also been using Benedryl for her scratching.Between both of the treatments i've seen a noticeable difference in how much she's been scratching.A lot less.She's getting a lot of relief.

My dogs get Salmon Oil added to their Omega3 fatty acid rich kibble.
It totally reparied my Chi's flakey skin in about a week.

dobiegang is right . also comb your dog that will help produce the oils into the skin.
and you can use olive oil if you run out of the other. use a little everyday in the food.

Most popular pet store carry a liquid called sulfadene that is for abrasions , cuts , hot spots, itching and scratching . I would recommend it and it's inexpensive. It's a yellow liquid .
