Sort the flea problem. You have to kill them where they live/breed.
You sure it's not sand flea picked up on the beach?.

For a cheaper food source you can get pets mince from the vet (make sure there's no chicken in it if you want, my friend's JR is not allergic to chicken), and while cooking it add in some rice.

So in the end they bought a natural Aloe cream from Clicks for R30 and that solved the problem. As you may know Aloe is excellent for the skin.
Another friend's dog developed some sort of skin problem and everything the vet gave them didn't work (but cost a bit though).

Dip with DAZZLE, if the rash is too bad, take him to the Vet and specifically ask for PRETNEZONE, it costs about R5 for 50 tablets, give one tablet a day for 3 days, then one every second day for 6 days, then one every 3 days for 9 days, eventually you will have them on a tablet a week.
This has done wonders for my one that has a contact allergy for grass

The dog may be infected with mites living in/under the skin, excema products are good - from Virbac - check with the vet!
Sand flies - use citronella spray from the pet shop.
Use flax seed oil in the food 1 tblspn per meal, helps develop a shiny healthy coat and prevents fleas etc from hosting on the dog. Oil every day for the dog, even sunflower or olive oil is good too, as well as 1 tblspn of oil from fried boerewors!
Another product you can try is EFAZOL, ask the vet for advice.
Blood test also a good thing to determine whats klapping inside?
Good luck....ive got hassels with my boerboel too!!

Hi Bennie
I have two jack rubbishes who have the same problem , its definitely related to fleas and mites. I used "program" with mixed results . We recently are using a product called "Advocate" think Bayer make it- this kills fleas, mites worms etc a multi attack type spot on you use every 3/4 weeks seems to work so far. You can get it at the vet about 70/80 rond per application.
Hope this helps
cheers Kirk

Hi,
Had the same problem with my JR, after spending R3000+ on vet visits and medication for the treatment of demodectic mange (apparently a common problem for JR’s) , a friend suggested I use Ectodex, two treatments over four days and problem solved. Just mix it in a 1ltr spray bottle and thoroughly wet the dog, and let it dry naturally. It also works for ticks and fleas (lower dosage).

I use it once a month during summer and I have no problem whatsoever with ticks or fleas, despite weekly visits to the beach, and cost wise it's much better than frontline.
With regards to food, my dogs don't like molteno and it doesn't last well at the coast (my experience). I feed them pedigree beef/steak flavour (for Medium dogs - they don't like the small breed stuff)
Cheers
