Ditch the Itch! An itch is one of the most irritating sensations for a dog! An itch can be caused by a wide number of factors that causes nerve endings in the skin surface to become irritated. Latest experiments have shown that the animal body is covered by "itch spots" (small spots of the skin that convey a sensation of itch when lightly touched). An itch can only be evoked from superficial layers of skin and mild scratching is one of the best ways to relieve the itch. Canines also learn how to get rid of an itch by biting or chewing their tail.

There is a lot that can be done naturally to help relieve itchiness for your dog. Try not to use harsh detergents on your dog’s bedding and don’t feed them human treats. Always dry your dog off properly after a swim or bath and never use human shampoo treatments or cosmetics on your animals.
