Skin Issue in Dogs Just like human beings, tykes are prone to allergies. It can be food-related or environmental but either way they can have a major effect on the skin of the doggy. It makes them itch a lot and chew the spot which develops into a hot spot. The itching and chewing often causes raw skin, which can result in infection and pain. Hence, to avoid this pain, many dog owners are nowadays resorting to Omega-3 fish oil supplements to take care of the skin issues in their beloved pal. Joints Problem in Dogs This problem is usually seen in ageing pets. The joints of the doggy can start to cause problems. One common painful condition that comes in the mind when we talk about joint problems in doggies is arthritis. The symptoms of this disease include: slowing down, showing less interest in activities once loved and limping. This can be due to the fact that doing either of the activities he loved causes lots of pain in the pooch. It is always better to rush to your veterinarian with your fur baby to ensure that there is no other medical problem involved. But it is very easy to alleviate the discomfort of your tyke by maintaining his ideal weight, getting a supportive and comfortable bed, keeping him active through regular exercise regimen (but start slowly and gradually with each passing day increase the intensity of the exercise) and last but not the least give him dietary supplements that assist in supporting joint health like Nature's Answer Glucosamine.
Ears infection in Dogs Ear infections can also lead to allergies. It can even be due to bacteria, parasites or something else. But remember an ear infection in dogs is not a funny thing.

If these symptoms last for more than couple of days, seek a veterinarian medical advice, since it can be very painful for your fur baby. Once the serious issues have been ruled out, a simple diet change or serving simple foods like rice and plain chicken can do the trick. Teeth & Gum issues in Dogs It has been researched and found that approximately 85% of dogs older than 3 years of age in our country are suffering from periodontal disease.
