If your pet buddy is prone to skin problems and irritations, such as itchy skin then be sure to keep these TOP FIVE TIPS by Dr. Megan Kelly in mind!

1. Make sure you keep your pets free from parasites (deworm your pet 3-4 times a year, use flea and tick preparations monthly).
2. If your pet has sensitive skin always rinse your pet with fresh water after exposure to salt water. Dried salt can make their skin more itchy.
3. If you know your pet has a sensitivity to grasses, rinsing their stomach and legs after a walk will remove any pollens which may aggravate the skin further.
4. Be careful of human food given as treats. They often contain wheat or products that may be responsible for skin allergies.
5. Add an Omega 3 and 6 supplement to their food. Omega’s have anti itchy and anti-inflammatory properties.
