| Please help - FUR BITING! How do I stop my 9 month old Bentley from fur biting? It's getting so bad! I don't know what to give him or what to put on the area! I'm so worried! I don't know what started the biting.. I'm very worried!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Maybe the vet can help you figure out why he is biting and give him something to help. It could be many things, allergies, flea bite, hot spot. You may be able to buy something at A petsmart or Petco that will help relieve the biting, but the vet can best tell you what is causing him to bite. Hope he stops soon.

| I agree, a trip to the vet is probably the first step. Hope you and your baby find some relief!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | What are you feeding him? It could be a food allergy.

| You might also consider changing shampoo. I've had to change Bella to an collidial oatmeal shampoo. It has really helped her tremendously. That and a grain-free with make Mr. Bentley a new man!

| I feed him Wellness & I've been using a good oatmeal shampoo since he used to scratch A LOT.. I'm going to be taking him to the vet ASAP. His vet is gone til Friday and he's so picky - he bites and nips at anyone else!

| What area is he biting? My Otis has allergies and is on antihistamine's seasonally. We are really fighting it right now. I feed Wellness whitefish and sweet potatoe. Late summer/early fall is an itchy time for him. Hope your baby gets some relief soon!!
