Question
Hi.  I actually have two questions.

My 11 year old dog is allergic to grass.  It causes him to itch, sneeze, and overall be miserable.  Right now I'm using children's Benedryl to help but was wondering if there are any natural remedies to help.  

My other question is regarding his nails.  When he was a puppy, a vet clipped his quick pretty bad.  Ever since then, cutting his nails has been a real pain and it seems to be his phobia.  I pay to have them done in the winter (and have to pay extra due to his attitude) and in the summer, I do it after I give him his allergy medicine.  I do NOT like the fact that I have to do this.  Is there anything out there natural that I can use to help keep him calm?  Talking doesn't work.  He feels the clippers and freaks.

My dogs are normally fed on prey model but are currently on Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul due to my freezer not working.  They are taking brewer's yeast & garlic tabs for fleas.

Thanks you for your help.

Hi April, I would love to see your Allergy dog take NuVET plus supplement daily -
During your Spring and Summer Allergy Season... Many need a double dosage per day.
If it doesn't help within 60 days, it's Free.

YOU can continue to use the Benadryl until the NuVET kicks in.   
NuVET needs to be ordered as it is Holistic and Not found in any pet store.

As far as food, I like the Chicken Soup Brand, good choice!  ( it's a 4 Star food)

Also, add some Pure salmon oil to the food daily ---- helps allergies and skin.

You may want to wash your allergy dog's paws with Unscented Huggies Baby wipes when he comes in from outside.

HOPE this helps...
