Thanks Freya! I'll be trying the coconut oil today.

Or prevent them from getting scabby in the future?

Thanks Dec. A human companion would be better, but I am having a hard time finding a match

My dog has to take anxiety meds everyday. He tends to get board with peanut butter, eats only the cheese, and pill pockets are expensive. I have been making my own pill pockets or other no bake dog treats and I have been altering the recipe here and there to make it interesting for him.

My dog, Watson is scratching at my walls. I have come to the conclusion that he does it more towards the end of the day. Sometimes it is so bad that he goes right through the dry wall in my apartment. I am at work when he does this, so I feel that I cannot properly correct the behavior. He does not do this everyday and lately not at all; knock on wood, but I am looking for any help you can give me. I have been trying different "toys" to keep him occupied all day but he does not seem to be interested or they only occupies him briefly. He cannot be kenneled because he has been diagnosed with kennel anxiety and I have not been successful with that either.

Thanks for your help! Sarah
