Did you know that itching and skin problems are the #1 reason for a vet visit around the world? ๐บ It makes sense when you think about how easy it is to spot โ your dog continuously scratching in discomfort is bound to make you want to find a solution, fast! When you book a visit, your veterinary team will help get to the root of your petโs itchiness. Be ready to have the answers for common questions that will help your team identify potential solutions, such as:
๐ Does their itching get worse at certain times of the year or in specific environments?
๐ Are they scratching all over, or just certain areas?
๐ When was their last dose of flea/tick preventative, and what kind was it?
๐ Are any other pets or people in your home itchy?
๐ What pet food, treats, and supplements do you give your dog?
Your vet will use these answers alongside a review of your petโs medical history and a thorough physical exam to determine the culprit and offer solutions that best suit your petโs needs.
