your dog could be allergic to grass. my dog socks, a border collie lab cross also suffers from skin problems. she has short fur btw. for her, i use a combination of treatments. shower with episoothe oatmeal shampoo once a week. after shampoo, apply episoothe oatmeal conditioner. one tablespoon of velcote oil a day. she's eating eukanuba lamb and rice meal. might try the raw diet as recommended by jeff. i brought her to the vet before too. after medication, all is well then the problem comes back again after a while. the medication prescribed to them won't be good in the long run. the vet prescribed prednisolone to her which is a steroid. prolonged use of prednisolone or other such cortico steroids have very negative side effects. so far, the shampoo and oil treatment seems to hold up well.
Any dog owners here?

Glad to see dog lovers in this forum as well! My schnauzer is on a BARF diet and I must say that the advantages of a BARF diet are endless! you can actually go to this site too to read a all you need to know FAQ on BARF.
It solves most problems on dogs..skin problems...bad teeth..etc. They will still have bags of energy to give you headaches.
here it is...not that kibbles are bad..just would like to have more pple know about this diet.

for skin probs hor, probably Abady will be a better choice...dunno abt others..but my fren's schnauzer is feeding on abady and her condition improved tremendously.. currently feeding mine Solid Gold Holistic wif salmon oil supplements..still some rashes around, will try feeding Abady then get back to u all abt whether it's a good diet anot...
Abady is better for schanuzers. A bit expensive and hard to come by but worth it.
My two schnauzers don't have the so called schnauzer bumps after going on this diet.

Went goo dunno how many times during this thread. :heart:
But why do so many people have white dogs?
What's wrong with brown, or even mixed coloured?
(Pepsi!!! :heart: Someday, I'll dognap you. You just wait.)
IMHO, I think white dogs are too cute to be true.
When I move out, I want a big dog. Any big dog will do. *sigh*
/me wait long long...
