[Everything doTERRA] Re: skin disease on a dog

I second changing the dog's diet! I have a dog with food allergies
and it often comes out as rashes on the skin. Definately change the
protein they are eating, as little carbs as possible and no wheat or
corn. Also add a probiotic to each meal. I have been feeding a raw
diet fir 7 years to my dogs so I can control what they eat. I have
many books about the subject but the most complete and easy to
understand is Raw and Natural Nutrition For Dogs by Lew Olson. She is
a phd in natural health and an expert in dog nutrition. You will learn
how to make your dog healthier, but she gives many options in feeding.
It doesn't have to be raw. There is even a section on allergies and
how to deal with them. I use oils o. My dogs every day but I do dilute
them quite a bit. I have used some internally also for a stubborn
staff infection successfully. I just wouldn't use oregano because it
is a little too strong for them. Good luck! Karen.
