By Telavets – Your Telemedicine Sidekick for Healthy, Happy Dogs

Is your dog scratching, licking, or biting at their paws, ears, or belly like there’s no tomorrow? Itchy dogs are not only uncomfortable but also at risk for developing infections from all that licking and biting. Whether it’s fleas, allergies, or dry skin, Telavets can help you get to the root of the issue and soothe your dog’s itch.

Common Causes of Itching in Dogs

• Fleas: Fleas are the most common cause of itching in dogs, especially if your dog is scratching excessively.
• Allergies: Dogs can be allergic to food, pollen, dust mites, or even certain shampoos, leading to itchy, inflamed skin.
• Dry Skin: Dry, flaky skin is common in the winter months or if your dog is bathed too often.
• Infections: Bacterial or fungal infections can cause itching, especially if your dog has open sores or hot spots.
