Diatomaceous Earth, Adams+ with Infest Stop and AIL (Avian Insect Liquidator) are all safe and effective measures for any insect and most other arthropods. ONLY use food grade DE, found at any farm or animal supply store, swimming pool grade is dangerous to animals and humans.

How long? Until we can get her allergy tested. And what evers wrong under control.

Given how expensive pet food is, why don't you hold off until you know that 1) it's a food allergy and 2) what exactly your dog is allergic too. Otherwise you may be buying it for nothing.

Has she been wormed and de-flea with a veterinary prescription product?
Has she what appears to be dandruff when you rub her coat?
Has she got a rash?
What are you feeding her?
Could she be stressed about anything?
Is she losing any hair?

Pyjamas will stop her being able to lick herself but its not a long term solution as your dog is clearly suffering.

But, it, almost invariably, is food-related, if you are feeding your dog anything corn/wheat/barley/rye based. Even if that's not the only reason your pet has itchy skin, it can't hurt to get him?/her? on a nearer-to-natural diet. Except for holistic veterinarians, most vets sell garbage like I@ms, H!ll's, Royal C@n!n, etc. All the junk they sell at their offices are corn and by-product based. Corn has a very high glycemic index and has been connected with diabetes, skin disease, and kidney failure, to name a few ailments. Those meat by-products are either treated, rotten inedibles, undigestible parts and/or from "downer" cows/pigs/sheep ("It's mad cow for supper, tonight, Fluffy."). Stuff you wouldn't feed to an enemy. They will do their best to convince you that it's all "scientifically based" nutrition. But, they come from the "a calorie is a calorie, is a calorie" school of nutrition. Now, everyone knows that two oreo cookies does not a Granny Smith apple make. So, why do we allow Pukeina, H!lls and all the other junk food pushers convince us that their food is quality nutrition for our pets?

There are numerous entries to "healthy pet food alternative recipes," online. If you have the time and energy to make fresh food for your dog, type in a search on your favorite search engine. Otherwise, look for the diet made with nutrition your dog would get, if it were a wolf. Wolves don't eat grains, for starters. I confess, I feed my pets a semi-quality kibble made with chicken and rice - no by-products and none of the bad four (listed above). It's not the best nutrition, but it's better than the previously named makers offer. And, when I can find it, they get fresh game, especially bunny. (Sorry, house rabbit guardians)

Good luck, OP, whatever the diagnosis. I hope my very long post is of use to you.

Um why did you replace my post with yours? Now it looks like I'm giving info and advice I wouldn't and couldn't because I have no clue when it comes to such things.

She's on trifexsis, I assume they've done worming stuff, she's never had worms tho in the 3 years I had her.

Nope, no dander, or flakes, or rashes,

Nope, no hair loss, no stress.


The pjs are just for her own protection until we figure out why and what's going on.


She gets A brand called premium choice lamb veggatables an rice, with glucosamine and Chondroitin.

Does it also have meat? Because dogs need meat, they are carnivores.
