I adopted my blue female, appox 1 year young, about 2 months ago. Like all Dobe owners I think I have the best dog in the world and I just want the best for her. She is super happy in her new forever home, no personality or behavior issues what so ever 
Trying to figure out feeding while wanting to keep it simple, and I think she has sensitive skin...
I was being stupid and tried the cheap flea and tick med from Target, she reacted by chewing and scratching her back all along her spin. Wounds have healed, its been a month, hair is growing back. Now I am too afraid to put any flea and tick med on her, THOUGHTS?
Her armpits got raw from the harness and she has a bunch of bumps in pits, but they dont seem to bother her. Per threads here I am wiping her with ACV/water mix and rubbing a little aloe on. THOUGHTS?
I am now finding little pimple like bumps randomly on her body, they too dont seem to bother her and there arent many of them. THOUGHTS?
She is itchy and dandery, I thought maybe bc she was a stray and at an adoption place, but I thought with good food and fish oil that would be clear by now...THOUGHTS?
I currently feed her TOTW (was informed bags at that store are ok???), fish oil caps, sardines (as of 3 days ago now), peanut butter/pumpkin/sweet potatoes/coconut oil stuffed in Kong as treats. I would be able to feed raw if TOTW is not good, interested in the dehydrated varieties to save $.
I understand Blue Dobes have extra sensitive skin. I dont care if she goes totally or partially bald, I just want her as health as she can be bc I want her in my life as long as possible.
I would love any helpful tips or ideas on feeding and care of skin. I prefer a more holistic approach.
