I completely understand why you're worried about your dog’s persistent skin issues and scratching, especially after trying multiple treatments and vet visits. It can be frustrating when the problem isn’t easily resolved, but let's explore some possibilities together.
One possibility is allergies, which can be environmental (like pollen or dust mites), food-related, or even a reaction to certain products you use at home. It's also possible your dog might have a skin infection caused by bacteria or yeast due to incessant scratching, which can further irritate the skin.
At home, you can try bathing your dog with a hypoallergenic, non-scented shampoo to relieve some itching. Make sure to rinse thoroughly. Keeping your dog’s living area clean and free from allergens can also help if environmental factors are at play. Regularly washing bedding and vacuuming can make a difference.
Keep an eye out for signs that might mean a more serious issue, such as open sores, intense redness, hair loss, or a noticeable bad smell, which could indicate infection. Also, if your dog seems lethargic or loses appetite, those are signs that warrant immediate attention.
To get more tailored advice, I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. A fresh perspective may help zero in on the underlying cause and find an effective treatment plan for your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
