| Why is my puppy biting at his legs!? Bailey has suddenly started nipping at his legs and backside. Also scartching a little. I can't see any fleas on him. He never goes outside, he only only has been to the vet, no where else. I don't know what to make of it, I feel so bad for him

| He's way too young to have food allergies. The first things that come to mind are dry skin and mites. Try googling these and see if the symptoms fit. Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck!

| Fleas can be hard to see, especially if there aren't many on him. Mites are also possible.

| Omg! Thanks, I have been combing him with a flea comb, and the only thing I can see is a few little white flakes, I don't know if it's dry skin or not. Any suggestions for dry skin, what should I do?

It wouldn't hurt to use an anti-flake shampoo just to see. Maybe it's just dry skin. Tigi Pet Head makes a shampoo for flaky skin.
