Hi, I'm a dog groomer and come across this quite often. Unfortunately there are so many things it could be that only a skin scrape and blood tests by the vet could narrow it down (this can be quite costly). My own dog gets very itchy and scratches himself sore but only once a year around april/may the vet gives him steroids for 14days and that clears it up until next year, it's like a hayfever thing. That's just one example other dogs get a problem all year round and it could be dust allergies, pollen, food, shampoo's etc some dogs are just prone to it for example westies. I'd stay clear of giving him anything and only use a baby shampoo until you know what it is as you could make him more uncomfortable.

forgot to ask, is it just his feet he is itching? If it is soaking them in cider vinegar can help relieve the itch and staying clear of grass especially in summer months. What sort of dog have you got?

Hey Rolymo I have never heard of using cider vinegar. That sounds like a good Idea though. We use Tea Tree oil or shampoo on our dogs It is fantastic on relieving Itchy skin.

My St Bernard bitch has pruritus on one of her fromt legs. She is now on her 5th month of antibiotics and i can't see any significant change in this ugly scabby mass on her leg. Can anyone suggest anything that may make it clear up as i don't like giving her 7 antibiotics a day when i can see no change. Any ideas welcome.

My uncles dog (who i get stuck with a lot) has a skin contition which is very itchy and gets sore as he bites his skin when he can't scratch it away. This is because he has a lot of allergies to human food so don't feed your dog no more human food and maybe take him to the vet to see if they can give you a diagnosis or a special food like what we have. Good luck.
