If you have poison ivy, you may also have jewelweed growing close to it. Jewelweed if you split the stems open the juice will immediately stop the itch of poison ivy. Having said that, if you do have it there you could grind it in a blender, add distilled water and spray the heck out of the dogs fur.. it will not hurt them, they've been lounging in it already if they are in the poison ivy. If you don't have jewelweed, do a google search and see if someone sells it. I make and sell Pine Tar soap which relieves the itching but if this is a permanant daily problem and the dogs are carrying the oil (poison ivy) on them all the time, that would only be a temporary solution.

Best Wishes
