🐾🐾DO YOU HAVE AN ITCHY DOG?🐾🐾
Persistent itching is one of the most common reasons pets visit the vet. Listed below are some of the common culprits behind the itch:
*Environmental Allergies: triggered by seasonal or year-round irritants like pollen, grass, mold, and dust mites.
*Fleas and Parasites: even a single flea bite can cause intense irritation.
*Food Sensitivities: usually shows up as chronic ear itching or paw licking from proteins like chicken or beef.
*Dry Skin: often caused by low humidity, dry weather, or over-bathing.
*Infections & Mites: microscopic mites cause mange, while broken skin from scratching can lead to bacterial or yeast infections.
*Anxiety: compulsive scratching or chewing brought on by stress or boredom.
If your pup has open sores, hair loss, a strong skin odor, or simply cannot stop chewing or scratching, it is time for a skin evaluation. We can help identify the root cause and provide relief. Call our office to schedule: 903-630-7059
