Hi,
My 7yr. old golden has had unresolvable skin problems most all his life and had a problem with paceing at night also. The vet. prescribed Hydroxyzine 50mg. its equivelent is two 25mg Benadryl (vet. recommended), which can be gotten over the counter and is cheeper. We have used Benadryl regularly going on 4yrs now to put him at ease with his itching. Beside from helping his itching they also make him sleepy and he doesn't pace at night. It has not effected his health in any way. Our golden weighs approx. 73 lbs. so if yours is much smaller you may want to try a smaller dose first, if you decide to give this a try.

Oh, I was thinking it was good for the itching, you know I have tried everything

Is it Coogle or Bingo having the itching troubles?
I have found that lighter colored dogs (especially poodles) have more trouble than the black ones.

I think I have finally found the right Balance with Brody, he gets half a can of MyDog (chicken flavor) it's the only one he will eat plus he has problems with beef.

And half a cup of Natures gift Dry food which is completely natural (hence the name lol)

It's Coogle and they are on natural Dog food and the sardines once a week, and the oatmeal shampoo, etc.

I think it is outdoor allergies, it seems to be worse when the wind blows, plus I've tried everything else. It's not that bad now, I just hate to see him scratch.
