Most itchy skin is the result of dietary problems not illness.

The antioxidants in fruit and vegetables and herbs are toxic to dogs, for example.
THESE cause itching and other issues.

Dogs are designed differently from humans, but their food is usually designed for humans.
(or else it is junk not fit for rats).
Humans have a very complicated liver which has all kinds of fancy enzymes for handling plant chemicals such as complex antioxidant molecules. These then are broken down into useful components for humans by the liver.
In dogs that cannot happen - the liver is designed for carnivore diet not omnivore diet, and lacks the necessary enzymes to turn complex plant chemicals (such as the ones we call antioxidants) into beneficial components - hence they stick around in the blood causing toxic reactions - itching being a very common one, and heinz-body anemia (which predisposes all kinds of illness due to lack of oxygen to ward it off), being another.

No remedy will fix the dietary mistakes. One has to remove the "maintaining cause" as Hahnemann described it.

Namaste,
Irene

Irene,
Is it okay for me to crosspost your comments on to some of my dog forums?
Regards
Christine

Thanks Irene
My dogs eat only meat now - for several months. Off Kibble for almost a year.

Maybe in time, I'll see a difference.

No time to write in detail at present but meat alone is not a complete diet.
So there are likely deficiencies to cause the issues you see.
Gut health in particular, is critical in dogs, and not helped by meat at all.
(Gut contents of prey and blood of prey, (and ones) fulfill many nutritional needs for dogs - also check the water for toxins like fluoride)

Namaste,
Irene

Thanks Irene. So many feed their dogs veg and fruit and are always complaining of skin problems. Although they've been advised to leave off the veg and fruit, many don't see it as being the problem - but no one before has explained the reason way the way you have. So maybe it might just start them thinking, yes, that might be the problem.
