Cocker Spaniels/Itchy Skin

Question
I was definitely planning on keeping her in the puppy cut - it is definitely the most sensible thing to do.

Checked with the pet store moments ago - no Addiction or Sojo's Complete.  What a pain!

Once we visit the vet next week I'll follow up with you regarding her skin.  Thanks again for your help.

Answer
Ask if they can order it for you.  Or you can order online...don't know about shipping charges to Bermuda though.  As far as I'm concerned this is the best dog food available and what my own dogs eat.  However, next to that, Innova EVO is best and has the plus of being available :)

Online - K9 Cuisine, AbsolutelyPets.com - OnlyNaturalPets.com and Doggiefood.com

Another tip just in case.  Cockers often get yeast between their toes in warm climates.
Fill a pan with half water/half white vinegar outside - pick dog up - dunk toes in - count to five and you're done.  We come to Palm Beach in the winter and sure as shootin' - one of my boys will start on the paws within a month.  This totally controls it.

You also should know about Zymox Ear products.  Just genius and no cocker owner should be without it.  No prescription required - the Vet Dermatologists are crazy for it.  Will save you hundreds in vet bills.

If you'd like to discuss - do write me personally at DeeBeck7765@aol.com.  Cocker ears are an education in themselves :)

Health, nutrition, training. Please note: I used to highly recommend Innova products but, unfortunately, as with Canidae, they have sold out to Proctor & Gamble. This guarantees lower quality to a dangerous point so I will no longer be advising anyone to buy it.
