Itching and scratching without visible fleas can be a frustrating puzzle for pet owners. While fleas are a common culprit, they can be hard to spot, so ensure your dog is on an effective flea preventative. Other common causes include environmental allergies (pollen, dust mites), food allergies or sensitivities, dry skin, skin infections (bacterial or yeast), or even mites that aren't easily seen. A veterinary examination with potential skin scrapings or allergy testing will help pinpoint the cause and determine the right treatment plan. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
