Right now, we don't really know what in our environment causes to the itching and scratching. Allergy testing would show that.
We looked back into his med history and found he started when he was about 4-5 months old and by the time he was 6-7 months old, he was itching and scratching so much, he got some infections.
How old is your pup?
Definitely bring it up at your vet's appt before it gets infected.

I see you're in NY too. We're in Rockland County and wonder if you're nearby? It could be similar issue if we are.
