cough and itchy skin Our dog has suffered from allergies for a long time. Vets have told us that is was kennel cough and gave us some powerful antibiotics. Did not help at all.After tireless efforts and no results we gave up until our neighbor recommended a vet he goes to. He put our dog on this product and Omega 3 vitamins. Our dog is at peace now - his coughing is just about non exsistent and the scratching has stopped. This is the best treatment for our dog. He can live a better life. He is not bothered by any side effects. 04/12/2012

Oscar and Poko Recommend Like many doxxies, my poor babies have seasonal allergies. This product has been helpful in toning them down. The boys sneeze less and, with the help of doggie shirts, Oscars summer rash is under control. 01/02/2012

works well on itchy skin This drug works pretty well for my dog's itchy skin. I found that it works much better when given with a fish oil supplement (omega 3 fatty acid pill). After about a month, I can see a huge difference in my dog's skin. She is not as itchy and her coat is much more silky. Her skin is not as red and her rashes have cleared up completely! I just hope it stays this way, although the vet did say that she will most likely be on this medication for the rest of her life. At least its quite inexpensive through 1-800-petmeds! 07/13/2011

Can be helpful All those with "allergic" dogs - please be aware that most dog foods have high carb content which promotes yeast which leads to itchiness, paw licking, red paws, irritation, ear infections, dull coat, hot spots - any or all of these things! So FIRST make sure that your dog is not consuming high carbs/low protein. You should generally be feeding your dog about 35% protein. Many popular and/or lowcost foods are only about 20-22%! Change over gradually (a week or two) and then most people notice improvement in about 4 weeks or so, and things will just get better from there! Organic dog food is NOT necessarily good. Protein content is very important, with carbs about 40% maximum. (Most better foods are NOT at the big box stores, by the way.) Good luck! Many of you will find that this is what your dog has needed! Enjoy! 05/22/2011

Works wonders for calming The vet gave us this due to our Dobie being nervous (had 4 different, terrible parents--starved & abused) when our schedules change or the weather gets windy, etc. They work sooo well for him. Sleeps peacefully yet on walks or at the dog park he plays & enjoys himself to the fullest. Would recommend for any "high strung" or abused or nervous pet. 11/17/2010

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Hydroxyzine, like many antihistamines, can cause side effects such as nervousness, restlessness or irritability. Also, although it is rare, antihistamine overdose (hydroxyzine is an antihistamine) has been reported to cause tremors and seizures. It is recommended that you contact your veterinarian and report your pet's symptoms, to be safe and rule out these causes. After all, there may be other reasons that explain your dog's symptoms.
