We sometimes forget which day of the week it is, if we locked our car or our house... By the way, did I see my dog scratch today, or was that yesterday?
I created the following Itch Tracker so that every dog parent can finally have an easy solution to monitor their pup's itching from no itching to severe itching.
It helps track all symptoms: itching, scratching, chewing, and licking.
The document is a printable PDF, letter size, so you can put it up on your fridge, for example, and rate your dog's itchiness every day.
Always use this tracker when making an actual change to your dog's diet. I recommend using Day 1 on the tracker as the first day you start supplementing your dog's diet with Omega 3 fatty acids.
While there is no guarantee on if you will see improvement or when you will see improvement, many dog owners reported to me that Omega 3 supplementation often yielded a result in as little as 1-2 weeks.
Also, while your dog may keep scratching overall, you may still notice an improvement from severe itching to mild itching. That's why the tracker is so helpful! It will help you visualize the results.
