Doggies

[DianaB]

I have problems like that with Reuger. Did you happen to have them groomed? I think that they can itch from having their hair cut short. When I last groomed Reuger (and I trimmed him really short) he scratched a lot!!! I don't know if it was the short hair making him itch or what but now that it's grown out he's not doing it anymore.

Also, there are some dog foods that make him scratch. If he gets into the dog food for our airdale he'll bite at his paws which is a sign of food allergies.

Then he also has grass allergies!!!!! You can take them to the vet for an allergy shot. I also have a small bottle of spray for dogs that I got at Wal-mart that's for itching.....it's like benedryl.

Also, there's flea dermititis.....that's where a flea bites them and causes a rash. Since I switched Reuger over to Comfortis we haven't had any more problems with this.....anyway not as bad.

I hope you find out what's wrong......it's so irritating to have them scratching all the time......trust me, I know!!!
