ebaine Jackson, MS 2 posts	i have 2 dogs, but 1 is especially allergic – to foods and fleas and whatever else. This spring I have learned that k9-advantix burns her skin; comfortis while pork-based contains sterilized beef and she is allergic to it; while she tolerates frontline+ better, it doesn’t work for her. I found a couple products at local health food store which contain neem, or neam. Flee, Flea [not sure who makes it] burns her skin as well and the neem shampoo doesn’t appear to be working for her either [altho I admit I mixed a couple of anti-itch shampoos with the neem shampoo and then diluted it, but not much]. I’ looking for suggestions on what to try next. She is miserable, but I have a couple of different anti-itch products which I apply topically as well as 1 benedryl 2x day. Thanks so much, *ELB. p.s. Marcy is allergic to corn, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, etc. She can eat fish, so I feed both Solid Gold’s Holistique which I highly recommend. I tried Honest Kitchen as well, but Marcy does not like it.

Most have a isopropyl alcohol base for quick drying. Maybe do some research through your vet or the drug companies that produce the products to see if they a different product that has a different formula of drying factor?
ebaine Jackson, MS 2 posts	Thanks, I will…I hadn’t thought that Marcy may be allergic to other ingredients rather than the flea preventive treatment.
