I guess the best cure for rashes, fleas, ticks and dry skin would be a homemade remedy which was told to me by a vet, since I also faced the same problem and nothing worked for my Yellow Lab. All the commercial stuffs like Frontline plus for dogs, the Comfortis flea pills and Advantix are nice but will not serve the purpose. I rely on the homemade remedy. I would say that the best option which can be used for repelling the dry skin, rashes and itchiness which can be caused due to cold weather and ticks and fleas respectively, would be the usage of oatmeal paste.
You can make the paste of oatmeal by crushing the oatmeal and mixing it with little water, and then with the help of a warm towel you should apply the oatmeal paste on the dog’s dry skin coat. You can reduce the dry skin of the dog by reducing their levels of sun exposure. I really hope the information which has been provided makes some sense and provide a soothing effect over your dog’s dry skin and will also make the fleas to repel. The question of spreading the fleas and ticks comes into consideration you have to be sure of one thing, you have to make the house clean properly so as to reduce the chances of the house being infested by fleas, ticks and other sort of worms.
