What it could be
Itchy Skin & Scratching can have several possible causes
This section is not a diagnosis. It gives sensible possibilities to help you decide what to monitor and when to involve your vet.
Fleas, mites or parasites
Even a small number of fleas can trigger intense itching in sensitive dogs. Mites and other parasites need veterinary treatment.
Skin infection or irritation
Broken skin, smell, greasy coat, scabs or hot patches can mean the itch cycle has led to infection.
When to call a vet
Speak to your vet if itching is intense, the skin is broken, smelly, bleeding, spreading, causing hair loss or your dog cannot settle.
Helpful product types
Choose products by the problem you need to solve
Start with comfort, protection, monitoring or safer daily routine. Products should support care, not replace veterinary diagnosis.
