    Parasites, poor breeding, allergies - what did your vet say? Alesi’s Chi’s

    What has your vet suggested? Your puppy must be due for shots by now, the vet can take a look and tell you if it’s allergies, an infection, cheap dog food, whatever. Kathleen

    Skin problems (parasites) like sarcoptic mange….demodectic mange. It could be an allergy as well. Take him to a vet and have him tested for mange because it is common in puppy mill dogs and bad breeders. Good luck. jmh

    Hi,

    It depends on what kind of skin problems he is having.
    Many pitbulls have skin problems, as with other bully breeds.

    My dog (a pitbull mix) has allergies to fresh cut grass resulting in little pimple type things on his belly. There are many different things they can have.

    Pits are prone to skin condition - make sure you are feeding him a top quality puppy food, preferably with no grains.

    Something like taste of the wild or Orijen

    Petnat Dermacton is excellent for rashes and skin problems, but as a pup you should take him to the vet and get their opinion to what is going on. It could be fleas or an allergy to fleas. River
