Question

My Sumo
Hey Maria, I have a 2 year old English bulldog that is my heart, I've had him since he was 6 weeks old and well of course you know they are like our kids. a year ago he started loosing his hair on his back and underneath his neck and it looks scally he really doesnt scratch and I've taken him to the vet plenty of times. 1st they said he was allergic to his food so we switched it about 5 times it didnt help then they said hes allergic to pollin and gave him fatty acids, steroids and some other stuff, well it didnt work so now i think its an allergy to an insect bite, but I dont know the vet says hes healthy. He eats plays just like my other dog but his skin looks horrible ive tried the skin so soft and nothing seems to work please help if you can

Answer
Wow Jenifer, POOR little Sumo!
Yes, he could be allergic to environmental allergens such as dust, trees, pollens, molds, carpet, ..... ( even cats)???/
Many things in your household can set off your pal.

Yes, he could be allergic to a flea bite, spider bite?  Who knows... It soulds like the vets are puzzled about this boy.

We can try a few Natural Options to help:
Here is what I would do:  My advice:

1.
I would like to see you put him on a long term Probiotic...
give 3 per day for the first 10 days and then 1 per day - at least 3-4 months....VERY safe:
I sure do like Nature's Sunshine Products - here is what he needs:
Probiotic 11

2.
Next, something to detoxify his system:  
  
CHLOROPHYLL,SOFTGEL CAPSULES(60)

Give just 1 per day - for 2 months....( you may need to do this long term:  VERY safe to take - good for him.

3.
I sure would like to see him on the NuVET Plus - they give a 60 day money back guarantee....
Skin and Coat healer But ALLERGY blaster - Fight off what is hitting this boy with the NuVET Plus Wafers-
He will need 2 per day / long term.... After 30 days you can put him down to just 1 per day..... This is wonderful and I have seen such GREAT results with this program.
