How To Control Pit Bull Allergies?

Has your pit bull started seeming itchy and chew until the hair fell out? Do you feel that there is something which does not seem to be right at this moment? Well these are perfect signals that you have started to doubt your pit bull is suffering from allergies.


Some pit bulls are notoriously allergic to chicken and wheat. If you swap his food to natural Nutro lamb and rice (no chicken or wheat) and allergies will go away. There is also a cheap hydra cortisone spray and shampoo that works wonders!

Apart from these simple diet modification and sprays, the pit bull allergies can readily be controlled by simple home remedies.

Due to pit bull allergy, your pit bull will develop skunk smell. Some of the pet owners are using tomato juice to mask this skunk smell. Well, I found a simple way of using tooth paste to dethrone the skunk smell from my pit bull.

Rub the toothpaste into the pit bull's coat after wetting the skin thoroughly. Wash it off perfectly after few hours of drying. I found this works nicely than the tomato juice.

Other Home remedies to control pit bull allergies include-

  • Apply skin So Soft oil twice daily
  • Washing the pit bull with oatmeal shampoo
  • Blotchy and irritated spots may be rubbed with diaper rash cream
  • Introduction of BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) dog diet
  • Using cornstarch powder

Once you have adopted these measures on your allergic pit bull, they won't chew any more and the allergies will be no more, plus the coat will be glossy and healthy.
