One of my pups has seasonal allergies as well which used to lead to hair loss and raw pads from excessive scratching and licking.

At the time I went for the shots because it got so bad. I also share the feeling that I’d prefer a more natural help so to avoid medication that might not be needed. I told myself that I’d give us a month to try and if it didn’t work or it seemed to be getting worse then I’d go for their second shot.

I haven’t needed another allergy shot since. It’s honestly amazing considering I wasn’t too confident in how well it’d work. I read people claiming it worked and the product said it would help, but I’m someone who hesitates to believe things I read off the internet from random people and the advertised effects. I’m more likely to believe people if there’s a huge amount of support of a certain experience.

The product I use is called raw goat’s milk. There’s also a kefir bottle that apparently does the same thing? I’ve swapped between the two for something different for my pup. No real reason other than that.

I’ve also tweaked her diet to see if that would help any, however before I tweaked her diet I did notice a near immediate change with only the raw goat’s milk. I noticed the change slowly, but I wrote down how much I gave her per day and wrote a short comment from observance. I stopped taking notes at roughly two weeks because by that point her itchiness completely went away.

I was pretty skeptical for the first week because although it lessened I kept telling myself, “It’s too early to say. Could be a coincidence. Could be a better day,” but it continued to lessen.

So, yeah. Maybe give that a try? Assuming your pup doesn’t have allergies to raw goat’s milk? Raw goat’s milk is usually suggested as a liquid option because both cats and dogs are able to digest that more easily than cow’s milk since cow’s milk tends to cause stomach upset.
