Pitbull with sensative skin.?

my dog has very sensitive skin, It seems like when we go to a new park he always gets hotspots and some kind of skin problem, is there a remedy for senitive skin on dogs? ( he is a pitbull, and I heard that pitbulls are known to have skin problems, is it true?)

Pitbull with sensative skin.?
Have you tried a diet formulated for sensitive skin? Science Diet, Eukanuba, %26amp; Nutro all make sensitive skin formulations.


Have you tried adding additional omega 3 fatty acids to his diet, like Derm Caps or Linatone? They help the body not respond negatively to skin irritations.


Have you tried bathing him immediately after exposure ti irritating substances? This will wash anything from the environment that may be irritating him.


Have you tried Benedryl? It does help in many dogs with allergies. The usual dose is about 1mg per pound (50 pound dog 50 mg) every 12 hours as needed for itchiness.
Reply:Sometimes it can be that you are bathing the animal too frequently or they are predispositioned to it. I use soap every two months for doggie baths that has oatmeal, it is really gentle on their skin. Also you can take the animal to the vet and they might suggest a vitamin or lotion that will help. If a dog is scratching it can be a number of things: Fleas, Dry Skin, Allergies, Sensitive Skin, the list goes on. I would suggest taking him to the vet, and making sure it isn't serious. If he tells you it is allergies than sometimes they will advise Benadryll or a perscription. Benadryll works great on my pups allergies.
Reply:its probably and itch to the grass make sure to bathe him more so he doest have that problem those dogs and labs get sensitive skin cause they are very gentle animals
Reply:I have a pit with the same proplem. You say when ever you take him to a NEW park this happens, if this is the case then I suggest you take him to a park where he doesn't have a reaction, and stop taking him to a NEW park.


He is either allegic to grass or something that the park uses on the grass(chemicals).
