![]() Occasional itchiness and some dry, flaky skin are nothing to be concerned about and can be addressed easily with home remedies. While lifestyle changes, like giving up artificial fragrances, or changing the time of your walks, can be difficult, they also can be worth it if they help your dog with his itchy skin. Made from petrochemicals, these substances could be irritating your dog’s body. Also, consider your home fragrances as a possible cause. For pollen or mold sensitivities, try to time your walks when the pollen or mold count is at its lowest. ![]() Many environmental allergens can be controlled or eliminated. Once you’ve eliminated obvious causes, like fleas or other skin parasites, it’s time to consider other causes. While true food allergies in dogs are fairly rare, changing your dog’s diet to a more nutritional one will help with allergies to other things. Many of the common causes of skin itchiness in dogs are environmental, like fleas or seasonal allergies. While a vet visit might be needed for severe itching, mild to moderate cases can likely be treated and solved on your own. Itchiness is often paired with dry, irritated skin and a miserable pooch. Whether it’s seasonal allergies, sensitive skin, or it simply seems to come out of nowhere, most dogs will occasionally experience some itchiness. Itchy skin is one of the most common issues that bring dogs to the vet’s office. If your dog has itchy skin, they’re not alone. Consult your vet before starting any skin care regimen for your dog, and stop the treatment if your dog’s symptoms remain the same or worsen.
