Default Can dogs get chigger bites?

We went to our property this weekend and the chiggers were really bad. Toby keeps licking his paws and running along the carpet rubbing the sides of his head like he's itchy. Can dogs get chigger bites? What can I put on them? I gave him a bath when we got home and used the same shampoo and conditioner I always do. Most of the time he is fine and acts normal but at other times he's running around like he's all itchy. He has no ticks on him, that I'm sure of. We've had a LOT of rain lately and I guess it's brought out all the flying critters. The only place he could have got them would have been in the grass in our yard at the camper as we have a deck so they don't lay in the grass or dirt. Any suggestions will be appreciated. FYI - he does take heartworm meds.
