It’s “Itchy Pet Awareness Month”! This is a month dedicated to promoting pet skin health. Itchy skin is one of the top reasons why owners bring their pet in for a veterinary visit. Allergic skin disease is nothing to ignore. When it becomes chronic, it effects the quality of life. Sleepless nights, easily irritable and possible pain from sores is not a fun life.
Signs of itchy skin:
Frequent chewing, biting, scratching, or licking
Rolling or rubbing excessively
Ear problems/flapping
Hair loss
Body odor
Redness, rash, greasy skin or scabs
Visit your veterinarian if your pet is displaying any of these signs! They can help.
