Hello there! It's great you're looking for ways to help your pet with itch relief. Lidocaine cream is generally used to numb the skin and can offer some temporary relief for itching, but it's essential to be cautious.
Pets often lick themselves, and ingesting lidocaine cream can be harmful. Instead, let's explore some other safer options. First, consider giving your pet an oatmeal bath, which is gentle and soothing for the skin. Regular grooming to remove loose fur and allergens can also help.
There are a few common causes of itching, such as allergies, fleas, dry skin, or infections. Keeping an eye on your pet's skin for redness, swelling, or hair loss can help pinpoint the problem. If your pet is scratching excessively, developing sores, or seems extremely uncomfortable, it might be time for a more in-depth evaluation.
Remember, if the itching persists or your pet shows signs of distress, like constant licking or biting at the skin, it's best to consult with a veterinarian. Booking a video consult with Dial A Vet can get you professional advice tailored to your pet's specific needs. We're here to help you ensure your furry friend is comfortable and happy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
