Does your dog or cat have itchy skin where they scratch and scratch until they’re red raw?
The same as us humans, many things can cause your furry friend’s itchy skin forcing them to have a scratch – often excessively. Our beloved four-legged friends often suffer from skin irritations, itching, or coat-related concerns. These can easily be from something innocuous such as something tickling, some little bug moving across the skin, or even just a nerve twitching spontaneously. When the scratching goes on and on though, we need to do something about it because itchy skin that is scratched raw is not only painful but can lead to infection.
Skin issues such as dry, flaking skin are often the result of internal, systemic inflammation causes by allergies, yeast infections or dietary deficiencies. One of the most common food allergies for dogs is chicken which can lead to skin rashes, itching as well as diarrhoea and intestinal issues. If you give your dog the occasional piece of chicken or biscuits where the protein source is chicken, remove these from their diet for 6-8 weeks and see if the scratching/rashes clears up.
Itching and rashes can also be the result of a direct external cause like skin parasites, fleas/ticks/mites, ringworms, folliculitis and just plain old heat. 
There are a surprising number of reasons why your pet has itchy skin and is constantly scratching.
Taking your dog or cat to the Vet is the first port of call to establish why your pet is excessively scratching.
