from the vets. used on cats fur after ops to stop them licking works a treat have used it on billy for the same thing.just the smell will put them of. 
hope you find somthing that works

One of my dogs used to bite and chew her feet, it turn out to be diet related, Stafford's are sensitive to food colouring ans representatives.

I now have been feeding my dogs on a home diet with a Stafford oil mix.

Lots of Stafford owner use my diet and have has wonderful results.

Stafford's, all dogs really need to have essential fatty acids in there diet, it keeps there skin healthy.

Kara used to come out in lump when she went into long grass, she now has been on my diet for 5 years and no lump.

The diet has been tested in a laboratory, to make sure it covered all aspects of a dogs needs and came back better than i had hoped for.

I am a breeder and owner of Staffordshire's and my puppies are well know to be healthy fat little porkers.

Try the diet and oil, what do you have to lose.

Staffordshire oil mix

500mls --- Extra virgin olive oil

200 --- Cod Liver Oil

200ml --- Flaxseed Oil or Linseed seed oil

100ml --- Sunflower Oil

makes 1lt

Some of the oils can be found in a health food shop(linseed or flaxseed, cod liver oil or fish oil) in the fridge others can be found in the super markets (sunflower and olive oil, buy home brand its cheaper.)

 

Take the plastic plug out of the 1 lt bottle.

Pour in all oils.

Replace plastic pour gadget and put lid on the bottle. Shake well then store in your fridge.

This provides your dog with the essential fatty acids needed for a healthy life.

This is also great for skin allergies.

Dogs from 1kg – 10kgs pour one teaspoon over their dinner once a day.

Dogs from 11kgs – 20kg pour two teaspoons over their dinner once a day.

Dogs 20kg and over – pour 1 table spoon over their dinner once a day.

Chicken Dinner

5 kg chicken necks carcass or Beef mince.

1 kg pasta (dry weight) cooked = 2kg when wet

1 cup (200g dried soup mix (soak, then cook) 3 kg cooked frozen mixed veg. (carrots, peas, beans, potato)

1 cup (100g) of LSA*

2 Tablespoons Kelp powder

5 cups (500g) Rolled Oats

2 Tablespoons Mild Curry Powder

2 Teaspoons Chicken stock powder

2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder

2 Teaspoons Ginger Powder (NOT FOR WHELPING BITCHES)

2 Teaspoons Salt

Keep all liquids from meat or chicken, cook veggies in it and add to mix.

Add Healthy oil to add essential fatty acids

* LSA is, Linseed, Almond, and Sunflower seeds crushed up together. It provides the essential fatty acids and oils for good skin and coat.

Please note: this is a high quality, protein packed, nutrient dense meal, NOT some cheap and nasty dinner!

330g daily - sustains an active, muscular 18 kg Staffordshire Bull Terrier, in show condition! If your dog is smaller or larger, or less active, adjust quantity as necessary.

hi i i was wondering if you ad any advice for me,my staffy has grass allergies also food allergies so as you can imagine he suffers alot in the summer months,would you use flaxseed oil in his diet he has fruit for snacks and waffcol kibble salmon and potatoe with being allergic to cereals  and rice also. any advice would be appreciated,,we do use antihystermines for the scratching also ouderless garlic tablets,, thanks

Is he alergic to white rice or brown, I know it is strange but I have a dog that alergic to brown rice and is fine with white.  I know other dogs the same.   Mine is also alergic to potatoe so can't feed him Waffcol either.

 

For the grass alergy, alavera (spelling) helps keep their skin cool.
