Della gets real itchy skin during certain times of the year and is mostly inside too, the appropriate amount of benedryl or zyrtec seem to help her tons so that she hardly ever gets "hot spots" due to the irritation. Just regular 'ol human benedryl (kids chewable) 2xs a day or half of a zyrtec 1x a day which she eats happily stuck in some canned food. She's under 20lbs. If you don't think that will help, the inflatable collars are great to keep them from biting and still pretty comfortable, just keep in mind that they don't do so well against scratching, a traditional cone is best if they're scratching from what I understand from the online reviews I read at least.

I do feed Della grain-free Blue Wilderness, but she seems to suffer seasonal allergies. I get her all the vac's, partially because most groomers require they have them and I'm truly worried about what would happen if I did not, with the time she spends around strange dogs at the groomers and park. I also worried about the vac's causing cancer like they did with a friend's cat though...its something I'm still torn on.
Her vaccines ARE spread out though, so she's not getting them more than 1 at a time.

Edit: I said "all the vac's" but I guess I just meant all the ones recommended by the vet, not all the ones on the site Nirv posted. Rabies is every 3 years (which she got last year), and I got her Bordetella based off of the groomer's requirements, but other than that I think the only vac the vet recommended she get this year was distemper and he did a heart-worm check which is just drawing blood and testing it. I didn't look at the list on Nirv's site before this, but I know for a fact she did not get all of that.
