My dog keeps scratching constantly but I don't see fleas. What else could it be?

[]

Answer

Constant scratching without visible fleas could indicate several issues, including environmental allergies, food allergies, skin infections (bacterial or fungal), or even parasitic mites. Itchy skin is a common problem in dogs, and correctly diagnosing the cause is crucial for effective treatment. We'll need to examine your dog's skin, possibly perform skin scrapes or blood tests, and discuss their diet and environment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
