2. Control Excessive Scratching
Excessive scratching can cause further skin damage, leading to hot spots or infections. The abrasiveness of baking soda can help scrub away allergens and irritants that are causing your dog discomfort, offering a gentle exfoliation. This not only reduces scratching but also prevents the buildup of yeast or bacteria on your dog’s skin.
How to use:
Add a teaspoon of baking soda to your dog’s bath water and allow them to soak for a few minutes. This will help cleanse their skin and provide instant relief from the itching. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
Scratching’s under control — now let’s talk flaky skin. The next trick is surprisingly soothing (and you might already have the second ingredient at home).
