Taking preventative measures is usually the best care for your pet, but what if that’s not good enough?  What if you only notice here and there that your dog is scratching here and you don’t realize it might be a lager problem - until it is?

Dog atopy involves excessive itching.  The first signs will often be excessive scratching in paws, face, ears, armpits and groin areas.  Your dog may chew his feet or rub his face on walls, carpet or furniture.  Watch for your dog licking, chewing and grooming for extensive periods of time.  Your dog’s ears may also be very red and hot to the touch.  If your pet is between the ages of 6 months and 3 years, they will be more likely to show signs of atopic dermatitis.
