Why does my dog keep scratching? Itching isn’t always caused by allergies. Fleas, mites, food allergies, environmental triggers, and skin infections can all make your pet uncomfortable.
Pay attention to other signs like redness, hair loss, sores, unusual odor, ear problems, or excessive paw licking. Finding the right cause is the first step toward helping your pet feel better.
If the scratching is persistent or getting worse, it’s best to have a veterinarian check your pet rather than treating the itch on your own.
