What helps relieve dogs of flea itch?

Answer 1

Well dogs get fleas mainly from sleeping in dirt of coming to close contact with another animal with fleas.

To get the rid of them, you can spray your yard with high scented chemical (which is illegal in populated areas), visit your veterinarian and get some pills for the dog, or buy a flea collar.

Dogs may not swallow pills and it's not a good idea to dissolve it in it's water. When my dog gets the pills, I get a tin of canned sausage links and cut a slit in one, insert the pill a give it to the dog. That's the easiest way, TRUST ME.

They have products out there that will keep the fleas & ticks off of your dog for a month. That would be Frontline, Advantage, BioSpot (doesn't seem to work as well). I personally like Frontline, will not wash off and you only put it on your dog's skin once a month and it does keep those fleas & ticks off.

Answer 2

You should probably seek advice from your local vet as they will know better about what to do. They could help you find a safe flea repellant that won't harm your dog. This may or may not help, but you could also try bathing your dog in cool water, making sure to dry them properly afterwards. The coolness of the water usually helps relieve severe itching problems in people, although I don't know if it will help a dog. It shouldn't do any harm to try though.

Things that worked for our allergic pupmix a solution of 50/50 water and apple cider vinegar,... dampen a cloth with the solution and wipe your dog all over twice a day.

feed plain fat free yogurt

feed oatmeal cookies

use a e-collar to keep the dog from being able to lick the area, and apply cortisone cream to the area,... 2-3 times a day

sometime neosporene helps,...

and then there is always benedryl allergy medication to help relieve the symptoms of Allergies

Answer 3

I suggest Advantage, I work at Vet. clinic and we see Advantage work really well. Stay far away from Hartz as those flea treatments are repeatedly proven dangerous. And I personally don`t like flea collars dogs have been known to have skin reactions to them. And I have seen Frontline lose it`s effectiveness. The most important thing to note with a flea allergy is that, it is an allergy, and if they get a single flea on them it will cause them to react, so it is still very important to also get them treatment at the clinical level.

I see alot of people having problems with the product because of simple everyday mistakes, so here are a few basics.

1. Don`t allow your dog near a cat until the product dries, it can be very harmful to cat`s.

2. treat every animal in the home.

3. treat the home its self (recommend Adams flea spray)

4. do not bathe your dog for the time the product is effective,usually 3weeks/1month(I recommend baby wipes to help you through this)

5. wait 2-3 days after a bath to apply the product(as it works through the oil in the coat) they say water resistant, but it isn`t.
