Question
Just recently our bulldog has been scratching unmercifully and his tummy has a red raised rash and I am thinking what little time he is out to potty that the heat is causing him to have this issue. We have had him for 1 1/2 yrs and never experienced this but with the hot temps I thought this could be what is causing this. Is it ok to give him a benedryl for this to relieve his itching? He is on Royal Kanin food and has been since birth
3 1/2 yrs ago. I feel so sorry for him and I have never seen a flea on him either.....??? Thanks so much!

Hi Kelly - here is my itchy dog kit: Works great :
You can follow this during the Spring and Summer months or Year round:
1. Most Vets will allow 1-2 mg of Benadryl per pound:
Example - 30 pound dog can have 30-60mg of Benadryl q 12 hrs.
( CALL your VET for dosages if you are unsure)
2. Huggies Baby Wipes/ UNSCENTED
Wipe your bullie every time she comes in from outside with a Huggies baby wipe..
It taks the pollen and other spores off her skin.
3. NuVET Plus is a Must for itchy bullies: NuVET is a allergy blaster and skin healer;
Takes away the itch and reduces swelling and red areas. NO DRUGS - all Natural -
NuVET is like a treat... SEE here to order: NOT sold in stores:

( They Give an unconditinal 60 Day money back guarantee)
4. ASK the NuVET folks to send you some HOT spot Tea Tree Spray - Under 10.00 and works great, takes away the itch and helps to heal. I love this stuff, great for cuts and scrapes, too.
SMELLS wonderful.
HOPE this helps, it should.
Just a seasonal allergy related to the heat. ( ?? my guess)
Remember , I am not a VET - just a pet nurse.
If it doesn't clear, please see your Vet for a skin scrape test.
