Poms Itching Relief

I have a 6 year old Pom & Yorkie mix. We have always fought the itching problem. Vets say allergies and give her shots which help for only a short period of time. She was miserable. I decided to get very serious on her diet, grooming, etc. Here is what I did 3 months ago and the itching is GONE. Diet was an organic mix of sweet potatoes and fish. Bought at PetCo. NO preservatives at all!

Switched her water from tap water to bottled water. No pig ears or any other treat except small milk bones. Twice a day. Bath every 2-3 weeks using Allergen Reducing shampoo & AvoDerm conditioner. Groom every week. No table scraps ! No cat food ! FYI Twice she has gotten tap water while traveling. Both times her itching came back the next day, until bottled water was given back to her. Something in the water does bother her. No Frontline. She is allergic to it and breaks out with scabs on her back.

Last time I used BioSpot and she didn't break out but I did notice it still irritated her skin some. I hear to use Advantage. Haven't tried yet. But flea control every 30-45 days. Still waiting for the long term results but much cheaper then the vets, and she is no longer miserable. It's working !! Good luck.
