Itchy Dog? Here Are 5 Home Remedies for Dogs You Didn’t Know About

January 24, 2019

Is your 4-legged best friend itching and scratching? Are you seeing that your dog has dry skin?

Could it be a food allergy? A parasite? An infection? Fleas? Allergy to fleas? Or something in the environment? 

These are the most common culprits causing your dog itching problem. What can you do other than running to the vet? 

If you have an itchy dog, you’ll want to check out these five home remedies before spending time and money on pricey prescriptions.

Home Remedies for Your Itchy Dog

Are home remedies helping you get your own health on track? Let’s take a look at the latest home remedies that will benefit your furry friend. 

1. Apple Cider Vinegar Mixture

You must be aware of the benefits of apple cider vinegar for you, but how about your dog? 

Mixed with equal parts of water in a spray bottle, apple cider vinegar will help relieve your dog’s itchy skin. Just spray it on or apply with a sponge. 

Soak itchy paws in the 50/50 solution for up to five minutes to give your dog some relief. 

Be cautious if your dog has any open wounds. The solution will definitely sting! 

2. Olive Oil

This is another product that has many human benefits that are also beneficial to our dogs. 

Olive oil contains vitamins E and K and is chock full of antioxidants. A little bit added to their food 2-3 times per week will do wonders for their skin and coat. 

While it works to take away the itch, your dog’s coat will become healthy-looking and shiny. 

3. Oatmeal Bath

Have you ever tried an oatmeal bath to soothe bug bites or chicken pox? It will have the same effect on your itchy dog. 

Grind oatmeal into a fine powder in your food processor or coffee grinder. Add it to a warm bath and have your dog soak for 10-15 minutes. 

If soaking in a bath is not going to work with your dog, mix the oatmeal with some water and put it on hot spots or any inflamed area. 

4. Coconut Oil

This is a dog favorite! You can give your dogs a teaspoon of coconut oil on their food to boost their immune system. 

It can also be applied directly to the skin to moisturize and stop the itching and soothe the skin. 

We recommend organic, cold-pressed coconut oil. 

5. Plain Yogurt

Choose plain yogurt without additives and definitely no sugar! A brand that contains probiotics is best.

Add this to your dog’s food a few times a week to keep good bacteria in your dog’s digestive tract. This will strengthen the immune system and in turn ward off skin infections. 

In addition to home remedies for itchy skin, there are other natural products to help with many pet ailments. Click here for more information.
