How To Treat Itchy Dog Skin at Home Naturally
How To Treat Itchy Dog Skin at Home Naturally
Dogs can develop itchy, uncomfortable skin for a number of reasons. If your dog is suffering severe itching or skin allergies, then a trip to the vet will be necessary.
If your dog’s itchiness is occasional or mild, there are plenty of totally safe, all-natural ways to treat it. Here are the best home remedies.
Coconut Oil
Many natural beauty products now contain coconut oil because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is also an excellent moisturizer for canines as the oils can penetrate fur for direct contact to the skin. Dogs who are suffering from eczema, allergies, yeast infections, and even insect bites and stings can all benefit from direct application of coconut oil.
Put coconut oil in the fridge or a cool, dry place so it turns completely solid. For quick relief to dry skin, massage the oil into the coat and skin of your dog where they are suffering. You will notice your dog’s coat improving along with their relief from the constant itching!
50/50 Apple Cider Vinegar Water Spray
Apple cider vinegar is a natural, safe relief for especially dry, itchy skin. The antiseptic and antifungal nature of apple cider vinegar makes it a great form of relief from poison ivy but NOT on raw or opened skin. If your dog has itched himself or herself raw, this solution will sting the exposed wound.
To avoid getting vinegar in any open cuts, fill a spray bottle with 50% water and 50% Apple cider vinegar to target affected areas.
Aloe Vera
If you’ve ever had a sunburn, you know all-natural aloe vera can be a lifesaver. Not only is aloe vera a powerful healing agent, but it can also reduce redness and draw uncomfortable heat away from the skin. You can apply aloe vera directly to your dog’s affected spots. Most grocery and drugstores sell 100 percent natural aloe vera, or you can harvest it from an aloe vera plant if you have one at home.
Baking Soda
A pantry staple, baking soda can do much, much more than making your baked goods rise. When combined with water and blended into a thick paste, baking soda can dry out rashes on the skin, alleviate itching, and reduce redness and inflammation. All you have to do is combine 50 percent baking soda with 50 percent water and apply the paste to your dog’s skin. After about 20 minutes, rinse completely. For a more moisturizing blend, add a little bit of high-quality coconut oil to the mixture. And if your dog is experiencing body-wide itchiness, you can also add some baking soda to its bath.
Chamomile and Green Tea Soaks
Chamomile and green teas are well-known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory effects in humans—but they work just as well for dogs, too. If your dog is dealing with hot, itchy patches of skin, try giving it a soothing soak in a chamomile or green tea bath.
Here’s how to do it: Fill your bathtub or sink with lukewarm water and let several tea bags steep for three to five minutes. Then, remove the tea bags and let your dog soak in the mixture for at least five minutes. If you want to spot treat your dog’s skin, steep a tea bag and let it cool completely before applying the tea directly to affected areas.
Oatmeal for Itchy Skin
Puppy Dog Power! Thanks a lot cuz we have an older dog that has itchy skin and we don’t want her to suffer.
I tried just about everything natural for my little 15-year-old Chihuahua Foxy to stop the instatisble itching. 😢Nothing worked at the end of all that .. so now I just go to the vet and unfortunately have to pay $130 a month for cytopoint injection. I get the Human version called dupixent or dupilumab and every few weeks for my very severe eczema which I don’t have to pay for thank goodness 👍
Can you use it on CAT’S too?

That e.is good information for dog skin thank you.
Um no, never use baking soda on pets EVER!
For hot spots, I use coconut oil followed by Zinc Oxide Powder ( never eat or inhale) You can also sprinkle Zinc Oxide Powder on the fur and rub it through. Seasonal allergies are tough to deal with, btw.
What is the best way to treat your dog with anxiety freezing up panic attacks in the whole 9 yards please tell me please help me out. I tried the remedies. They said that CBD oriole and other common shoes and stuff.
ACETO MELE E ACQUA MOLTO MEGLIO ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m using coconut oil in his food everyday and warm water with baking soda towel baths and now goldbound powder. The last is the best so far ❤️
Thank you for this info!!
Tried coconut oil and olive oil on my dog several times. Made her vomit. Rub dry baking soda on your hands. It is very irritating and it burns after you leave it on awhile. tried oatmeal bath. she developed a fungus on her skin. Tried the apple cider vinegar rinse. Caused itchy scabs all over. Haven’t tried the others. I am not saying these remedies don’t work. I only know they didn’t work for me. or my little dog. I suggest you use extreme caution when applying any natural home remedies.on yourself, your pets or your children. . You could end up being very sorry.
salamat po..,.

First, try taking your dog or cat off all commercial dog and cat foods and snacks. You Tube has recipes for dog & cat foods. China purchased Purina about a year ago. When I stopped commercial food and snacks, she stopped itching! I haven’t had any more problems. I buy chicken legs on sale, which cost about $3.50 and under. I add carrots, green beanssweet potato or pumpkin, broccoli,a clove of garlic for dewormmy dog. If I have leftover mash potatoes, mac and cheese or squash, spinach, etc. I don’t have a problem with my dog itching anymore. I make a patch by putting the food in silicone 1/3 or 1/2 cup holders freezer, remove, place in zip lock bags. Take in down as needed. She loves it!
What remedy is best to use on yeast infection?

Aloe vera has been a lifesaver for my dog. My baby suffers from skin allergies. She had instant relief from hotspots directly after applied. Best decision ever!
Thank you for very helpful advise to keep my fur children safe+
The dog has yeast due to eating starchy dog food. Baking soda wont help that. Try lotrimen for yeast.

I used to give coconut to my danes all the time except , my 8th one and not he has a fungal infection from fish.
Everything, they say dogs are allergic to relating to home remedies you’ll notice isn’t patentable and can be affordable or in some cases free,. Exactly as can be said of humans and BIGPHARMA 🤔😏
👍💞
It was a microscopic inch worm that was the culprit, I used my microscope before and did a swab. I could not find a free online dog database of microscopic parasites, but saw in an online article that the microscopic inch worm was one of the worst to cause itching. My larger dog has tail issues now. It is damp in the yard and I had run out of the Natures Vet Yard spray for the lawn, so there are tiny bugs that are not noticeable. I take him for walks instead since he prefers that this time of year when the lawn is damp. Often a lack of vitamin E and flax seed in the food can make the itching worse. My smaller dog does not have itching problems at all. My larger dog has longer hair.
I have used the ACV, mixed with aloe Vera juice, and the ingredients the the vet gives on his channel, “ Veterinary Secrets”. For fleas. It’s amazing.
