🐾 Is your pet itchy? 🐾
August is a great time to talk about something many pet owners know all too well — itchy pets! 🐶🐱
A little scratching now and then can be normal, but if your pet is constantly scratching, licking, chewing or rubbing themselves, it could be a sign that something isn't quite right.
There are lots of possible causes, including:
🐜 Fleas and other parasites
🌿 Allergies
🦠 Skin infections
🥩 Food sensitivities
🧴 Skin irritation
Look out for signs such as red or sore skin, hair loss, excessive licking, recurrent ear problems or changes in your pet's behaviour.
If your pet is constantly itchy, don't just put it down to them being a "scratchy" pet. ❤️
Our veterinary team can help investigate the cause and find the most appropriate way to keep your pet comfortable.
