Dog itching and skin problems are one of the most common issues faced by pet owners, veterinarians, and dogs.

For example, dog itching symptoms include:

  • Hair loss
  • Hot spots
  • Rashes
  • Scabs
  • Bumps
  • Scaly skin

What Causes Dog Itching?

Approximately 160 different skin disorders affect dogs of every age, size and breed.

Moreover, dog skin disorders stem from 6 basic causes.

Flea Allergies

If your dog is allergic to fleas, one flea bite results in hot spots and hair loss all over its body.

Furthermore, when a flea bites your dog, the flea’s saliva thins your dog’s blood.

Then, some of the flea’s saliva enters the bloodstream and causes a reaction the way a mosquito bite affects people.

Nevertheless, fleas are more of a problem for some dogs than others.

Seasonal Allergies

Dogs suffer from seasonal allergies just like people.

For example, congestion, draining eyes, skin rashes, and irritation are all expected.

Skin Infections

Seasonal allergies cause your dog to have itchy skin, which causes your dog to lick and scratch, creating wet, dampness on your dog’s skin.

Then, bacteria and yeast colonize and create a skin infection.

Ringworm

Ringworm is a fungal skin disease that results in hair loss.

Food Allergies

Food allergies cause rashes, bumps, and pustules all over the skin.

Mange

Mange is a skin disease caused by parasitic mites that primarily affect young dogs.

All Natural Dog Itching Remedies

There are many quick and easy changes you can make at home to help alleviate dog itching.

For example, giving you pet an all natural supplement like Kan Essentials Dispel Dampness and Nourish the Skin may help.
