Itching in dogs is a very common symptom among our four-legged friends.
Have you noticed for some time that your four-legged friend scratches often or compulsively licks their paws but you don’t know what to do?
Let’s analyze the causes and discover what the natural remedies are to prevent dog itching from being the start of a serious and painful condition such as dermatitis.
Dog dermatitis: the main causes
It is very important to observe the dog’s behavior and take note of its attitudes:
What signs should you look for?
- Which areas of the body does it scratch?
- Does it shake its head often?
- Is the skin irritated?
- Are there any parasites on the coat?
The causes of itching in dogs can indeed be of various kinds:
Parasites and insects: dermatitis can be a consequence of attacks by certain insects, such as fleas or ticks. When the animal is bitten by fleas, a tiny amount of saliva is injected under the skin, causing inflammation.
- Consumption of particular foods: dogs, like humans, can develop some intolerances to certain foods. In these cases, the disorder may also be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea.
- Contact with irritating substances: irritating substances can be either natural or synthetic and can cause “contact” dermatitis in dogs.
- Stress: following strong stress conditions, the dog may scratch repeatedly, causing the typical symptoms of dermatitis.
- Non-food allergies: these are allergic reactions to some allergens that can be found in the air or in the environment surrounding the dog’s habitat.
- Hormonal disorders: the main problem in the case of hormonal disorders is the appearance of endocrine alopecia linked to endocrine or immune dysfunctions.
- Seasonal changes can also significantly affect the dog’s health, especially if it lives outside the home environment.
In summer, mosquitoes and other insects like sandflies increase significantly, so it is recommended to use specific antiparasitic treatments during the hottest and most dangerous months of the year.
It is important to promptly recognize the signs of a problem and book a consultation with the veterinarian who will be able to provide a diagnosis through careful observation of your dog’s behavior in the previous days.
