Itchy dog: what to tell your veterinarian

Scratching can have different causes, so start with observations rather than a new product.

Three practical points

  1. Note where the dog scratches, when it began and whether the skin looks sore.
  2. Record any flea products used, including the exact name and date.
  3. Bring the pet's current weight and ask what assessment or treatment is appropriate.

In the Philippines, contact your usual veterinary clinic for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
