  • Pain and sensitivity over the affected area
  • Itching

Furthermore, skin infections are easily treated.

Fleas

Flea bites are not the cause of itching skin.

However, when a flea bites your dog, an allergic reaction occurs as a result of the flea’s saliva.

Furthermore, flea bite itches for the same reason mosquito bites itch.

Additionally, flea bite allergies are treatable.

Flea allergy symptoms look like:

  • First, itching on the tail.
