Why is my dog has skin problem like all the time?

i don't give her foods that could cause allergies

Why is my dog has skin problem like all the time?
Could be a lot of things - animals get illnesses just like people. Virus, bacteria - check for mange. Have you checked the environment - are people spraying in the park, using herbicide, something on the property the dog might roll in? Also how's the weather? Extreme heat is murder on some breeds. Go to a vet.
Reply:Maybe red mange. My neice's dog has it.
Reply:possibly an allergic reaction ... you should try using special shampoo from a vet, or possibly changing his/her food.
Reply:grooming products, dog shampoo - they can be allergic
Reply:My little dog seamed to be scratching all the time also. I ended up having to give him allergy shots a couple of times a year.





It could just be what they call "hot spots". Especially if it's in one area that she's scratching. Those are temporary and they have a hydro-cortisone spray for dogs that should help. Or it could be a lot of different things like anxiety, fleas/insects, allergies to food or envionment, dry skin, etc. If it become too big of problem and you see scabs, you need to take him in to the vet to check.





Try not to bathe her too often, that will cause dry skin.





Good Luck.
Reply:think about things she comes into contact with: plants, grass, carpet cleaners etc...do you bathe her regularly? what kind of shampoo do you use? are you washing it all off? what is it your feeding her? she could be allergic to a common food filler like rice or corn.





take her to a vet, give them as much info as possible to try to figure out what could be causing it.





my labrador had the mange when she was a pup. we figured it was the lake water she swam in all the time and the vet gave us a shampoo to wash her in afterwards and it finally stopped.
Reply:There are many things, which can cause an allergic reaction in dogs. Just like People dogs can have an allergic reaction to; pollens, dust mites and molds. If it happens Year round it could be from mold or dust. If the reaction is Seasonal, it may be Pollens. If it’s an Inhalant Allergy your Pet may constantly be Scratching, Biting, Chewing and Licking at its Feet. The itching may be most severe on feet, flanks, groin and armpits. Dogs may rub their face on the carpet. Earflaps may become red and hot and Ear Infections happen. The Pets Skin becomes thickened, greasy and has a strong odor. Hot spots may develop due to irritation from constant chewing or scratching, which is then followed by infection because of its saliva.





Food Allergy reactions are usually itchy skin. They can also have anal itching, shaking of the head, ear inflammations, licking front paws, rubbing faces on carpeting and rarely vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, sneezing, asthma like symptoms, behavioral changes or seizures.


Flea Allergies usually cause severe itching, is not to the flea itself but rather to proteins in its saliva. A dog may hardly ever have fleas but if he is allergic to them a single bite can cause a reaction for five to seven days.





Even if your Pet has just recently started having symptoms, and has lived in the same environment, been fed the same food all its life keep in mind that animals can develop allergies to a substance over time. It can be a smelly, annoying, difficult time when trying to get Allergies under control but with Patience and Dedication it is possible to keep under control.
Reply:It does'nt matter about the food you feed her . If she has skin problems all the time it is more than likely something they were born with . It is a allergy that is passed on from the mother to the pup . Let me save you some time ... I have tried ALL the trial and error medications for my Boxer . Over a year later (yes , a whole year of watching my dog suffer , scratching almost constantly ) and yet another vet , I have found the medication I have been searching for . Atopica . A miracle drug for canine allergies . Within one week my baby hardly scratched at all . His hair is growing back , etc ... I must warn you , this is a very costly medication . 250.00 for a 15 day supply at two capsules a day . The average starter dose is a 30 day supply , then 1 cap every other day untill no longer needed . You do the math . Hope this info helps .
