Dog is SUPER itchy suddenly

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear your dog is feeling so itchy all of a sudden. Let's look into this together to help give your furry friend some relief.



A sudden increase in itching can be caused by a variety of things, including allergies (like pollen or food), fleas or other parasites, skin infections, or even dry skin. It's essential to check if there are any visible signs like redness, rashes, or fleas. Sometimes, something as simple as a recent change in diet or environment can also cause irritation.



At home, you can try giving your dog a soothing oatmeal bath to help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid leaving any residue that could irritate the skin further. Also, keep your dog’s nails trimmed to prevent scratching injuries. Look around your dog’s eating area and bed to rule out possible allergens.



Keep an eye out for any signs that might indicate something more serious, such as lasting redness, skin sores, hair loss, or if the itchiness is accompanied by lethargy or a lack of appetite. If your dog's condition doesn't improve or gets worse, it might be time to explore other causes.
