What Should I Do Now?

ok my female Boston Terrier has some sort of allergy…She’s been to the vet more then once trying to figure out what it is. The vet can’t really figure it out. I was feeding her along with my other 3 dogs and low quality dog food but today i changed to a better dog food..(Nutro Max not the best but better then what i was feeding which was Purina Healthy Morsels) She was checked for worms and there were none and she has been treated for fleas along with my other pets (3 dogs and a cat) We don’t think it is grass allergies but do you think that the food might make her stop itching so bad?

We use Advantage Flea Control, and we have done treatment inside the house, there are no fleas, but here is is November, and my poor dog is still itching and scratching and chewing himself silly. Every so often I can feel bumps on his skin under his coat, but not there are no scabs. He has always been an itchy dog, but it has always been seasonal. I know to use Oatmeal Shampoo, and to give him raw eggs/veggie oil in his food, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Aside from taking him to get allergy testing ($$$) anything else you’d recommend? Thanks

Dog Peeing On Herself, What Could Be Wrong?

I have a female jack russel terrier, she is almost 10 years old and has been fixed. lately she has been peeing on herself. She will go outside to use the bathroom like normal but she will often pee where ever she is sleeping or relaxing, including beds, the couch and the floor. we went a on trip almost 2 weeks ago which is when it started. we thought she just had to go really bad or was stressed which is why she peed in the car, but after we got home she still peed on things and now pees on herself. she stopped for like 2 days.
shes been healthy except for some allergies and ear infections caused by allergies. she also has/had fleas. she acts normal for the most part except for the peeing.
what can cause incontinence in a dog?

What To Do With A Dog With Itchy Skin?

So we own a rescue mutt from Virgina who was moved to avoid the over flow of Katrina pets. We got her when she was around 8 weeks old according to the shelter. A few months after we got her she started getting itchy and loosing fur around her eyes, we took her to the vet he did every conceviable test and said its an allergy. With that knowledge we started ruling out foods and household prouduts. She has fish oil pills, salmon enriched food, baths in expensive moisturizing conditioners, and she is brushed almost 4 times a week. She has medium lenght fur, itchy skin, and flaking sort of like dandruf. We have tried everything from special food to benadryl, nothing has helped he be even close to 80% less itchy.Also she has no bugs, mites included. She has no peanut allergies and she currently takes Vectra 3D for flea and tick prevention. Has anyone had a super itchy dog and has solved the mystery? Any good ways to hydrate her skin and keep her less itchy? What should we do to make her less itchy?
