What is making my dog so itchy?
The most common causes
Atopic Dermatitis
One of the most common skin diseases in dogs.
Scratching. Licking. Gnawing. Chewing. Skin infections. Hair loss. Bad smells. Sleepless nights. These are all signs that your dog may be suffering from canine atopic dermatitis.
If left untreated, this chronic condition causes constant misery for dogs and their families that love them. That happy, energetic pet they once knew has become unhappy, depressed and unsightly.
The good news is that veterinary science has developed new therapies that tackle the source of the allergy, not just temporary symptom relief.
If your dog is scratching or rubbing its face, or gnawing and licking itself, visit your veterinarian as soon as possible.
