Canine allergies - can drive a family bonkers!

I am desperate to find help for our Ruby, she is a 6 year old, golden/lab mix - her allergies are over the top every summer.  The licking is excessive - making her crazy as well as the rest of the family.  This year it was not just her inner thigh area, as in past, but the pads on her feet up to her first knuckle.  Poor thing can't help herself.

Her days are spent mostly in her e-collar to mitigate any further issues of her hurting herself.  This is something she should not have to endure!  She is so uncomfortable she is licking the air at times.  I can't fathom what she is feeling. The antibiotics and prednisone that the vet recommended this year was just a temporary patch, we even tried two rounds this time.  As we all know prednisone has really bad side effects.  I don't want to do this anymore, there has to be something that can help her naturally.   So I ordered some immune boosting vitamins for her.  I really, really, really hope they work!!  The product I order is NuVet Plus... if anyone has tried this, I've very much appreciate the feedback.

Little steps do make a difference. My GREEN PHILOSOPHY.

I've found that the general consensus of green discussions with those that new to this, find that they think that they have to jump in with both feet or don't know enough to even start.  

This is not true unless you just won the lottery and can afford to switch everything all at once and starting small grows to knowledge.

My GREEN PHILOSOPHY:

• Take little steps – as you run out of a product, replace it with a green(er) product. 
• You do not need to break the bank switching things over.  As you try new things you'll just might find that you like the 'greener' one much better.  Remember that headache you used to get?
• Recycle, recycle, recycle – I can not stress this enough.  
• Again you do not need to break the bank - use the blue plastic bags from the grocery store (yes these are recyclable too) and hang it somewhere convenient to put your recycle items in.  You might just surprise yourself once you start doing this how much you really can recycle. 
• Support biodegradable (but be watchful of 'green washing') - we will cover this later in this blog.
• Go organic as much as possible.
• Support your local organic farmers.
• Reuse/renew.  
• Check out this blog for a way to reuse newspaper and make a gift bag out of it.
• Donate.
• Try www.freecycle.org.

Last but not least - I'm here to help anyone that has questions!  I'm a firm believer that there are NO stupid questions.
