But then there\u2019s the kind of itch that drives you round the bend. The same goes for your dog. So when you see your dog scratch over and over again, it\u2019s time to find out why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasons your dog has itchy skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to find the cause of your itchy dog sooner rather than later. Persistent scratching or licking of the same area can damage their skin, cause hair loss or inflammation. Before it gets that far, here\u2019s our guide to potential suspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-environmental-factors\"><strong>Environmental factors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be caused both by things inside and outside your home. You can ask your vet to do a blood test for environmental allergies and then you know what you\u2019re dealing with. For example, if it\u2019s a dust allergy, you\u2019ll need to vacuum your home more often or even get a HEPA filter that improves air quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the most common allergens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pollen \u2013 trees, grass, plants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>House dust mites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storage mites \u2013 from stored food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feathers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cigarette smoke<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prescription medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perfumes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleaning products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rubber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plastic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Dog-allergy-blog-picture-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Westie in the grass\" class=\"wp-image-6898\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Dog-allergy-blog-picture-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Dog-allergy-blog-picture-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Dog-allergy-blog-picture-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Dog-allergy-blog-picture-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Dog-allergy-blog-picture.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fleas or flea saliva<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing that springs to mind when you see your dog scratching? Yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2022\/03\/22\/top-10-frequently-asked-questions-about-fleas\/\">those dreaded flea<\/a>s. We all know how itchy a flea bite can be, but did you know that some dogs are allergic to their saliva? If that\u2019s the case, even a few bites can leave your dog uncomfortably itchy for up to three weeks. So keep on top of these pesky parasites with a strict regime. Our super convenient <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/gb\/signup\/my-dog\/basics\/3733845687\">flea, tick &amp; worm treatment<\/a> makes this easy. It arrives through your letterbox at just the right time every month, so we do the remembering for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/unnamed1.jpeg\" alt=\"Dog with hair parted at the back of neck to apply flea treatment\" class=\"wp-image-8477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/unnamed1.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/unnamed1-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Food allergy or intolerance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like us, some ingredients don\u2019t agree with our dogs. While only 1 in 10 allergies are food-related, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common culprit is often a certain protein,\u00a0 followed by the \u2018big 5\u2019 &#8211; beef, egg, dairy, soya and wheat. This type of allergy or intolerance can show up with itchy paws, face, armpits and belly. Identifying the culprit is a case of trial and error, and best tackled with advice from your vet first. Once an allergy or intolerance is determined, we can help with a kibble blend tailored to your dog\u2019s exclusion needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ear infection<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog is particularly bothered by one of their ears, they might have an ear infection. Telltale signs of an itchy ear include head shaking, scratching and whining. Our floppy-eared friends, like Cocker Spaniels, can be particularly prone to this. As can dogs with food sensitivities or skin allergies. Quick treatment is essential, not only for their comfort, but also to prevent the infection spreading. If you suspect an ear infection, ask your vet to check your dog\u2019s ears as soon as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bacteria and fungal infections<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No fleas to be found? It could be a bacteria or fungal skin infection. There are a wide variety of causes, but they all result in a scratchathon! This will need to be diagnosed by your vet and possibly treated with a round of antibiotics. Again, the sooner the better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boredom<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It might not be our idea of entertainment, but excessive scratching, chewing and licking can be a dog\u2019s way of occupying the time. So if you\u2019ve ruled out allergies, try injecting a bit more variety &#8211; both physical and mental &#8211; into their daily routine. <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/23\/boredum-busting-occupier-recipes\/\">LickiMat<\/a>s are a great way to stimulate their brain and mix up meal times. Take a different route on your walk or teach them a new trick. And remember, some <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2021\/10\/07\/meet-the-samoyed\/\">breeds<\/a> just need more exercise than others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scratch that itch<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Scratching is a normal part of your dog\u2019s day, just like ours.
