Hi, I'm Dan Scott canine nutrition and home remedy specialist and in today's
video I'll talk about seven healthy and natural ways how to stop your dog's Iching and
later how you can stop the underlying cause of your dog's problem.
A long time back when my dog had skin problems from too much yeast in his system, I
didn't know which was worse, watching him constantly itching or me watching him itch, I
felt so bad for him. Let's face it life for a dog with a never-ending itch is
hell. Vets don't know what the itch is from, could be an allergy skin complaint,
demodectic mange, yeast infection or simply unknown and you're less
scratching your head in frustration while you bills being summarized for
steroid drugs and creams, antibiotics, and anything else they can throw at you and
your dogs, such as grain free dog food. Next you try special anti-itch brands of
kibble or that really expensive grain free option the vet recommended but
merely switching dog food brands will do nothing more than add chemicals and
starches back into your system and start the whole cycle over again. However, there
are some natural options that will save your sanity and bring relief to your dog
and later I'll share one option that will bring great relief to the
underlying cause and more on this later. Here's seven natural options that work
effectively. Calendula comes from a medicinal plant that's anti-inflammatory,
antioxidant, anti tumor and a great wound healer. You can buy the powder and use it
directly on your dog skin for relief and healing. Oregano is a perennial plant
best known for italian cooking but with amazing healing power for treating
allergies, candida, mange and yeast infections. Just mix the pure oregano oil
with virgin olive oil at one part Oregano oil to four parts olive oil and that
will give you a 20% solution. Oregano oil oil has excellent antifungal properties
for yeast infections, cancers, allergies, parasites, digestive problems, kennel
cough or to boost the immune system just rub some oregano oil mixed with virgin
olive oil on the pads of your dog's feet and between the toes daily. It will soak
in and do the job of an antibiotic for internal infections but without killing
off your dog's gut flora like vet prescribed antibiotics do. For skin lesions
skin cancers, Sarcoptic and demodectic mange, bee stings and bug bites, ear
infections, muscle pain, arthritis, contact dermatitis and any type of external
yeast infection, rub the 20% solution onto the affected area daily until it's
gone. Then there's Neem oil, just about anti-everything and a real doctor in a
bottle, proven to he'll mange mites and ward off or kill fleas and ticks.
Dilute the neem oil at a light starting regimen of one to ten which is one part
neem oil to ten parts carrier oil in a light carrier oil such as grapeseed or
almond oil. Mix well and then massage the oil mixture into the skin over the
affected area. You can apply it daily on problem spots. For hot spots like moist
eczema or to treat demodectic and sarcoptic mange and ringworm, you can
increase the concentration to a one to four ratio, which is one part neem oil to
four parts carrier oil. Also monitor the skin and if there's any reaction or
irritation over the next 48 hours, wash the oil off with a mild soap and water.
Generally though neem oil is found to be an amazing skin and hair conditioner,
promoting healthier skin repair and a more lustrous shiny coat. Coconut oil has
great anti itch properties and you can simply scoop from the tub and rub all
over your dog's coat to relieve itch and feed dry skin. Basil has good antioxidant
antiviral and antimicrobial properties, just add a few leaves to your dogs food.
Alovera makes a great salve if you have some growing, simply slice it open
and use the slimy gel directly on your dog's skin for relief and allow to dry
and repeat as often as necessary. And last, colloidal silver is an effective
antibiotic, antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral, so great for yeasty ear
infections. You can apply as an earwash to clean out the years then deliver a half
dropper into the ear canal to kill an ear
infection quickly. Your dog will shake out the excess and infections have been
known to resolve in as little as 24 hours. And there's also a spray available
for easy administration with links to everything in the description below.
So now you've managed to relieve the itching how could you solve the
underlying reason for the itch in the first place? Changing diet can make the
greatest difference. 9 times out of 10 the itch I've discussed is due to your dogs
present diet and it's the additives and starches and kibble that are the reason
for the unaddressed allergy. Your dog's body is producing copious amounts of
histamines in response to the allergic reaction it's encountering and these
histamines are causing constant irritation all over the skin. Many times
dog parents dealing with their dogs persistent allergies switch dog food
brands in the hope that things will change and nine times out of ten this
just does nothing more than have chemicals and starches back into the
dog's system and start the whole cycle all over again. Consider switching from
kibble to a home cook to raw food diet this reduces the number of additives
grains and artificial components in your dog's diet or for an excellent and fast
way to resolve allergies without changing your dog's present diet, is
with my Healthier Kibble Diet, the good news is to overcome this problem you
don't need to change brands of kibble, but by adding certain extras to your
dog's kibble meals, you'll quickly solve many dog health problems along with much
of the allergy issues your dog faces, That's why I created the Healthy Kibble
Diet, to help kibble feeding dog owners reclaim their dog's health from the
persistent health problems like itching that plague so many dogs. I found very
little help out there for dog owners feeding a kibble only diet, so from my 15
years of canine nutrition knowledge, I created a diet that in essence helps you
know the right combination of supplements to add as a topper to your dog's
kibble meals to boost the nutritional content of the food. This changes things
dramatically for you dog, simply by adding some essential extras your dog
extinctively knows is good to eat and once added, diarrhea, allergies and yeast
infections begin to heal quickly while other day-to-day chronic conditions such
as skin and coat problems, arthritis and poor digestion begin to fade it does
this by strengthening your dog's immune system to speed up healing and prevent
future illness. The sensitivity in your dogs system goes way down, histamines stop
being produced and they feel so much better as you'll quickly notice. This is
a great diet for the kibble feeder that actually saves money as veterinary
costs are cut in half over time as proven from over six years of testing.
