Infectious Diseases in Dogs – Protection and Prevention

Allergies are now one of the most common causes of itching in dogs. Dogs can be allergic to various things, such as specific food ingredients, pollen, or other environmental factors. These types of allergies can often lead to persistent scratching, licking, or biting, which can greatly affect a dog’s well-being and quality of life.

Parasites can also continue to play a role in causing itching. Fleas, for example, are still a common trigger. Therefore, it’s important to treat dogs regularly with a suitable flea prevention product. Make sure to treat all pets in the household and also clean the pet’s bedding thoroughly to ensure complete control.

If the itching persists despite flea prevention, it’s essential to have your dog checked by a veterinarian for other parasites or skin conditions. Since itching can accompany almost all skin diseases to varying degrees, only a veterinarian can provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
