All dogs scratch from time-to-time but if your dog is showing any of these signs frequently and often they may be suffering from an uncomfortable allergic skin condition. Your vet can help!

PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE
Once your dog’s uncomfortable itching is relieved, your vet can work towards diagnosing and addressing the underlying cause of your dog’s skin condition.
Until recently, vets didn’t have many alternatives to the use of steroids to treat itch in dogs. Unfortunately steroids can be associated with numerous unwanted side-effects that may affect your dog’s health, quality of life and even impact your own day-to-day routine. Some of these side-effects can even occur during only short courses of steroids.
Developments in our understanding of allergic itch in dogs have resulted in an innovative steroid-free treatment option for itchy dogs.
See your vet and ask about the steroid-free treatment that can relieve itching and make your dog comfortable, fast.

Pickles’ vet says:
“Pickles’ owner was very distressed at the thought that her dog was suffering because of his itch so I wanted something that would work quickly. She was also very worried about steroid side effects and wanted to avoid their use where possible.”

Jena’s new owner Kim says:
“If I didn't have access to the steroid-free treatment for Jena it would be quite devastating … She would have really poor skin and a great deal of distress. One of the things that touches my heart whenever I see her is the images of what she looked like when she first came into the RSPCA and how far she's come…I've seen the progress so far and I'm just so excited about how much she's going to improve in the future.”
Ask your vet about the steroid-free treatment that relieves itch faster and safer than steroids.
