I have a white boxer with skin allergies his feet ears etc can you help.?

My white boxer has allergies to dust and trees and pollens. I use malaseb shampoo that costs seventeen pound a bottle it is good but is there any herbal remedies for animals. My vet is good but wants to keep pumping antibiotics or steroids down his throat which i dont think is necessary. Any ideas or remedies that have worked for your dog.

I manage Koda's allergies with antihistamines (Benadryl works well for him, but some dogs need other kinds, and Koda has to have dye-free), an ointment for his ears to keep them from getting infected, and a really good diet with fish oil supplements for his skin. I also bathe him monthly with a great, natural oatmeal shampoo made by Earthbath.
Reply:A lot of people will say take him to a vet. But before you go to all that expense try a dog food that does not contain wheat as your Boxer may be allrgic to Wheat. Mine was and with advice from PERKY PETS he now has a lovely coat with no red markings anywhere. Report It

Reply:i give my dog a piriton anti allergy tablet , i wash her with polytar shampoo , certainly works for me after spending a fortune on different herbal remedies etc
Reply:Get zinc from the pharmacy ( you may have to get him to order it for you) it is cheap. It comes in a powder form, make up a paste with vaseline or something oily and use it on his skin, it is yellow so it will stain his skin a bit, but it will get rid of his problem. I had a dog with hot spots and they came every summer, and an older woman from Africa told me to use this formula and I did it and it really worked. cheers
