Skin conditions in dogs are unfortunately very common in pets.

When your pet’s skin protective barrier is broken, this leaves the entire body vulnerable to infections and other diseases. There are many types of skin conditions.

Many of these conditions begin with an allergy. Here are some types of skin conditions, and natural supplements or remedies that may help with each type.

1) Flea allergy dermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases in pets. It results in an allergic reaction to the flea’s salvia during feeding. It causes scabbing or itching in dogs – usually at the base of the tail or behind the ears. Dogs don’t need a huge flea burden to have a reaction and in fact can develop a flea allergy dermatitis if they only have one or two fleas on their body. For natural support, NVH Pet Experts recommend using the TARGET SPRAY (a natural flea and tick formulation), STIMMUNE (to help support the immune system) and BK DETOX (a natural blood purifier that is helpful for skin diseases).

2) Atopic dermatitis or atopy in dogs is the second most common skin disease. This is caused by a generalized skin reaction to an indoor or environmental allergen, like plants, pollen, dust mites and more. Many of these microscopic allergens penetrate through the skin directly— as these dogs often have a genetically inherited skin barrier defect. Atopy results in itching especially in the skin folds and areas like the flanks. Atopy can often progress into a generalized dermatitis in dogs. For atopic dermatitis, NHV Pet experts recommend starting with ALGE EX (natural support for environmental allergies), COCO FURCARE ( helps soothe skin and gives a fresh, natural scent), and STIMMUNE (to help support the immune system).

3) Food allergy dermatitis in dogs occurs when a pet is allergic to a certain ingredient in their diet. This usually develops from one year of age and onwards. If you suspect that your dog may be suffering from a food allergy. One of the only options is to put your dog on a restrictive food elimination diet for at least three months. This usually involves a diet based with a novel protein and nothing else. If the symptoms improve over time, there’s a possibility your dog has a food allergy. At the end of this time you need to challenge your dog by going back to your regular diet and see if the symptoms reoccur. If the symptoms come back, your dog likely has a food allergy. For food allergy dermatitis, NHV experts recommend having a customized phased nutritional plan put together for you by veterinarian, Dr. Amanda through NHV. Supplement wise, NHV experts recommend using STIMMUNE (to help with the food allergies). Pet parents may also want to keep a bottle of PLANTAERIS on hand to help with any diarrhea.

4) Mange is a skin disease in dogs, commonly caused by two types of mites, demodex or scabies. Demodex mites are normally found on all dogs and don’t usually cause problems. However when the dog’s immune system is compromised, the demodex can thrive and causes hair loss and skin damage. This is often followed by itching and secondary bacterial infections. Dogs with demodex don’t often itch at beginning, and all you often see are spots of hairloss, usually starting on the face. Scabies is caused by a burrowing mite and less common. It is extremely itchy and is often caused from wildlife or other infected dogs. Scabies can be passed on to humans as well. NHV Pet Experts have bundled a kit together to offer optimal mange and immune support.

5) Another common skin conditions are hotspots. Hotspots are patches of raw, infected skin that generally occur due to trauma to the skin from licking and chewing. Moisture sitting against the skin can set off a hotspot flare-up. https://www.nhvnaturalpetproducts.com...
