If you have an itching pet, it’s time to see your vet!<\/p>\n
In the past year, ‘pandemic’ pet ownership has soared with approximately 6.7 million people having adopted, purchased or fostered a cat or dog.<\/p>\n
However, when we combine this increase in pet ownership with the less known statistics of 1 in 5 pets currently suffering from allergic disease and requiring treatment from their vet.<\/p>\n
Skin health is often overlooked in pets, and when it comes to skin conditions (particularly itchy skin), the path to relief is not a one-size-fits all solution.<\/p>\n
Pet owners should feel confident knowing what is healthy and what to monitor when it comes to their pet’s skin.<\/p>\n
They should also feel empowered to speak with\u00a0a veterinary team when they’re concerned, as they are the best source of truth and support and can help pet owners navigate complexities associated with dermatological conditions.<\/p>\n
Excessive licking, chewing, biting, scratching, and rubbing are all forms of itching, and a sign that a pet has a skin issue.<\/p>\n
While some itching is normal in our furry friends, excessive itching, hair loss, pink skin, darkened skin, and even rust-coloured areas of hair, can all indicate that it is time to make an appointment to check their skin, coat, and ears.<\/p>\n
I can’t say it any easier \u2013 itchy pet? See your vet.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
