    Question submitted by the audience in our recent webinar: "The Itchy Dog":

    Do you like tea tree oil for itching; Would Vitamin E help???

    Answer by: Andrew Hillier, BVSc, MANZCVS, DACVD

    There is no published evidence to support the efficacy of either tea tree oil or Vitamin E for itching. There are some theoretical reasons why they may be of benefit, but I think there are many other interventions that are likely to be helpful – please see and review the webinar.
