There are many different causes to skin allergies, which means that there are even more treatments that you can consider.

In many cases changing to a medicated shampoo is helpful enough, but in most cases, the shampoo will only provide brief relief from the itching. Your best bet is to figure out what is causing the reaction.

Common skin allergies can include fleas and ticks, food, grass, mold, and even dander.

Thanks, Whitney, I'll pass this info onto my parents as one of their dogs is permanently scratching and they and the vet don't know why. Maybe it's a food allergy..

That's highly possible. Typical food allergies go undiagnosed as it's usually the last thing that vets check.

I thought it might be. I'm hoping this info will help Benji, poor pooch.
