Well anyways, more to the point. My older yorkie is constantly rubbing her feet on the carpet, and licking and itching all over. She never did this when she was on her old food, which brand i cannot recall, but it was just for puppies. It's not anything in the house because there is nothing new. Shes been on the science diet for almost a year. The 8mo doesn't seem to have the same symptoms besides licking her legs.
I try to keep her hair shortish, don't bathe her too much (once a month for grooming) she doesn't have fleas, up to date on everything.
I guess what i'm asking is if anyone has the same problem, and if there are any food suggestions that are natural that won't cause extreme weight gain. |
Honestly my dog seems to have been itching the entire time I've had him. I've taken him to the vet and he's been checked for fleas but has none. I was told he's allergic to flea bites. I would assume the reaction from a flea bite could be the same a a mosquito biting a human.... I don't know and he still itches today and he's 8 yrs. old. I've changed his food to Blue which is top of the line. I will pay attention to him and the itching. It can be embarrassing when taken around people.
