Right on, Tricia. And thats not even touching the "anti-" shampoos that kill yeast or are drying out sebum, etc.
Good catch.

Skin Allergies,,, -> Thank you Dr White Coat with all the antibiotics and steroids, lets not address the underlying cause but lets just mask it and let the issue at hand resurface it self as something else.. God for bid that A Vet fesses up and admits that steroids and antibiotic over use is the major cause of so called skin allergies. Let me retrace, My dog was on antibiotics for 24 of a 45 day window as well as Prednisone for 10 days of that period. Low and behold he now has pustules popping up left and right all over his neck and legs,, Yea Hotspots... So what did the Vet say its his food he has a Food Allergy.
DUH,,, 3yrs Ive owned this dog, no skin allergies showed up NONE. No Flea or Heart Worm Meds given, no topicals , no dryer sheets used in house no floor cleaner but vinegar and h2o , no smokers in house and the yard doesn't get sprayed with chems also.
He eats Raw gets Ester C, FIsh Oil, Vit E, Probiotics, Joint Supplements and Coconut oil daily...
They all want to point the finger elsewhere but never accept responsibility.
