How many thousand things make our dogs itch?
Actually, you can boil down most dogs to only three things: Parasites, Allergies/Sensitivities and Infection.
Nick will take us through his summarised guide to itch. With this information you can make new and informed decisions, with your vet, on
- Parasite Control
- Worming
- Identifying and Treating Allergies and Sensitivities
- Understanding skin infections from a simple perspective
The webinar is designed to bring the absolute beginner to a point where they can orientate themselves in a sea of dermatology. It will help the more experienced owner in decision making and minimising pharmaceutical use.
