Best probiotics for dogs with itchy skin

[Fire Dan]

My dog is itching a lot, and I'm starting to hear that probiotics could be a good solution. Does anyone have a recommendation or is there another supplement I should try first to help the itching?

Itching can be so frustrating for both you and your pup! Sorry to hear you are experiencing this. Probiotics can be helpful for some dogs, especially if the itching is related to an imbalance in their gut health or if allergies are at play. I’d recommend checking out this article on the Best Probiotics for Dogs. It goes over some great options that could be worth a try.

However, if your dog’s itching is more related to environmental or skin-specific issues, you might want to explore other supplements or remedies first. Omega-3 fatty acids (like fish oil) are known to support healthy skin and reduce inflammation, which could also help with itching. You can also look into some natural home remedies, like oatmeal baths, which can soothe the skin. Here’s a helpful guide with some Dog Itchy Skin Home Remedies.

Hopefully, one of these solutions will give your pup some relief!
