At <a href=\"http:\/\/truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/\">True Care Veterinary Hospital<\/a>, we take pet itching seriously, and we\u2019ll help you uncover the source of your pet\u2019s problem so we can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/how-to-help-your-pet-stop-itching\/\">put a stop to all that itching<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pets will scratch or sometimes bite at a spot on their body for a variety of reasons, including allergies, boredom, and bugs. Let\u2019s take a look at a few of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergies are one of the most common reasons for pet itching. Your cat or dog could have a food allergy; an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/signs-your-pet-has-pollen-allergies-and-what-you-can-do-to-help-them-cope\/\">environmental allergy<\/a> to things like pollen or mold; or contact dermatitis from encountering everyday chemicals like household cleaners or outdoor pesticides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch for other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/the-most-common-dog-allergens-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\">symptoms that point to allergies<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Watery eyes<\/li><li>Sneezing<\/li><li>Chronic ear infections<\/li><li>Vomiting<\/li><li>Diarrhea<\/li><li>Clogged anal glands<\/li><li>Dry skin or bare spots<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boredom&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A pet that is bored, lonely, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/pet-separation-anxiety-what-to-expect-when-you-return-to-work\/\">anxious<\/a> can develop something much like human obsessive compulsive disorder, and they will begin to do something repetitively, like scratching themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parasites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pests present a very common cause of pet itching. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/identifying-external-pet-parasites\/\">Fleas, ticks, and mites<\/a> can really drive pets buggy\u2014and make them scratch themselves incessantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hormone Imbalances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, hormone imbalances can lead to conditions like hypothyroidism, which can cause skin infections; dry, flaky skin; dandruff; and ear infections. And all of these things can make pets extremely itchy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arthritis or Other Underlying Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compulsive biting or scratching may seem to point to a problem that is only skin deep, when in fact, something may be going on far beneath the surface. Sometimes our pets lick, bite, or chew at an area because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/when-it-comes-to-pet-pain-the-signs-arent-always-clear\/\">they\u2019re in pain<\/a>, and they\u2019re simply trying the only way they know to find relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Put an End to the Itch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To accurately pinpoint the cause of your pet\u2019s itching, the first thing to do is schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/resources\/pet-wellness.html\">checkup<\/a>. We can help you investigate and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/services\/diagnostics.html\">diagnose<\/a> the trigger and present you with treatment options and, if necessary, allergy serums or medications for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/services\/pain-management.html\">pain management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to have your pet seen by a veterinarian if your pet has open sores from scratching, as these can become infected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other strategies for calming the itch include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Stay up-to-date with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/parasite-prevention-for-pets-all-year-long\/\">year round parasite control<\/a><\/li><li>Wipe your pet\u2019s paws after they\u2019ve been outdoors<\/li><li>Rid your home of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/pet-toxins\/\">common pet toxins<\/a> that could make your pet itch<\/li><li>Avoid any known allergens as much as possible<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/something-to-bark-about-10-ideas-for-summer-activities-for-your-dog\/\">Combat boredom<\/a> by keeping your pet active<\/li><li>Use doctor-recommended treatments as prescribed&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/staff\/\">veterinarian<\/a> will inspect your pet\u2019s skin at every wellness visit, but please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> between appointments if your pet\u2019s itching is on the uptick.
