I have 2 dogs that have never had skin problems. A couple of months ago I brought the dogs to my parents house to watch them for a week and the dogs returned with skin conditions. My parents dogs clearly have some type of skin allergy and I’m wondering if it’s possible that my dogs got it from them? On one of my dogs (black female Lab.5yrs) there are visible signs, redness…perhaps she bit herself red, I don’t know for sure. My other dog(puggle3yrs) has no visible symptoms but bites and scratches continuously….it’s frustrating and very concerning. I’ve tried shampooing with treatment shampoos, they say to do it only once a month, it helped; however, the symptoms returned in less than a week. Any suggestions? Could this be a parasite? Is it allergies? Do I need to go to the vet?
By the way, the dogs have been treated for fleas.

okay so I have a 1 year old red nose pit bull. And he has all these bald spots on his back and sides. It started off as just one small spot and turned into many spots all over. They aren’t red and they don’t seem to bother or itch him. He isn’t acting or eating any differently.
I’ve already taken him to the vet and I’m super pissed because I just spent $160 on the visit and a skin scrap, to hear the vet say she we need to spend $200 on more test because she didn’t see mights but there’s this one might that he could have but she doesn’t really know so she wants to give him every kind of medicine. F*** the vet! I don’t want to waste my time on playing process of elimination. I don’t have that kind of money. And its just a rash!!!
Also the skin scraping made my dog bleed so now he has 6 bloody spots on his body and for what? To find out he doesn’t have a certain kind of mite? Btw she didn’t even examine the rash she just said “oh well this kind of mite is common in this kind of breed of dog”.
Does anyone know how to treat mange, mites, or skin allergy’s?

Anyways, if you could tell me of a cream or anything I can do or feed him that might help I’m open to all suggestions. Thank you
I would take him to another vet but I really don’t have the money to go waste another $70 on just the visit and a what ever dollar amount on more tests that should that he doesn’t have something.
And if any one thinks I should have a dog then keep it to yourself. This dog, bruno we got him from the pound this june. He was going to be put down. I fought for a whole month save him from being put down and they decided to do it anyways. So i had to call about 30 rescues to help me get him out of there the day he was scheduled to be put down. And we saved him just in time. And he’s very happy here. So I may not have a whole lot of money to waste on every single test but its better than being dead

The vet thinks that my Bullmastiff puppy has food allergies. Does anyone know any homemade treat recipes for dogs that I could make him?

Thanks in advance!

It is a small rental house and the previous renter had a dog. New renters have no animals but have children with allergies and are worried about traditional flea bombs. Someone said boric acid will kill fleas and not be harmful to the family. Any other methods that will be effective for the house and yard?
