Constant scratching is one of the most common complaints from dog owners. Before you can treat it, you need to know the cause.
1. Fleas and Ticks
The most common cause. Even one flea can cause intense itching in sensitive dogs. Check for tiny black specks (flea dirt) in your dog coat. Our Natural Flea and Tick Collar provides 8 months of protection without harsh chemicals.
2. Dry Skin
Especially common in winter. Signs include flaking and dull coat. Our Oatmeal Dog Shampoo with aloe vera soothes and moisturizes dry skin.
3. Food Allergies
Common allergens include beef, chicken, dairy and wheat. Try an elimination diet for 8-12 weeks to identify triggers.
4. Environmental Allergies
Pollen, mold and dust mites cause seasonal itching. Wipe paws after outdoor walks to reduce allergen exposure.
5. Contact Dermatitis
Reaction to grass, cleaning products or fabrics. Identify and remove the irritant.
6. Yeast Infection
Musty smell + itching = likely yeast. Common in ears and paws. Our Dog Ear Cleaning Solution helps prevent ear yeast infections.
7. Hot Spots
Moist, red, irritated patches. Keep area clean and dry. Prevent licking with an e-collar.
8. Boredom or Anxiety
Dogs scratch and lick when stressed. Our Dog Anxiety Vest and puzzle toys can help redirect this behavior.
