Obviously, if you’ve got an itchy dog, you and your family will be feeling the effects too. No one likes to see their pet suffering, so finding out what could be the cause of your dog’s itchiness is a great place to start. Use our quick quiz Atopic dermatitis test to see if the itching could be due to atopic dermatitis, the most common cause of skin disease.
It’s also an unpleasant fact that if your dog is itching, you and your family may find you’re itching too. Parasites such as fleas, mange and fungal infections such as ringworm all cause itchiness in dogs and can affect humans too, so it’s wise to get any itchy dog seen by a vet as quickly as possible.
