Why does my dog ​​have itchy paws?

Itching of the paws is a common problem in dogs and has various causes. Recognizing the symptoms and understanding the underlying reasons is important to providing your furry companion with the right care.

Allergies

Some dogs suffer from allergies. This can be due to certain foods (such as gluten or proteins) or allergens in the environment, such as pollen. Look for signs such as excessive licking, chewing or red spots around the paws.

Pests

Tick ​​bites, flea bites or mites can cause intense itching and irritation, especially between the paws and on the soles of the feet. Check the paws regularly for ticks or ask the vet for help.

Power supply

Your dog's food is important for the health of its skin and coat. An unbalanced diet can lead to itchy paws. Discuss with your vet possible dietary changes, such as hypoallergenic foods or supplements such as DogSuppy's Probiotics Forte , which support skin health.

Tips to recognize itching on the paws

On a quiet day, take a moment to pay attention to your dog. If he scratches, licks or bites his paws frequently, these are hints of itching. Take a moment to look at its paws. Pay attention to redness, swelling, bald spots or wounds. Also feel if his paws are warmer than normal, which may indicate inflammation.

Ask yourself if there are other signs, such as hair loss, flaking, thickening of the skin, unusual discharge or a strange odor. These little things say a lot about your dog's health.

Think of your observations as pages in a book about your dog's health. They provide insight. If you are unsure whether symptoms persist, consult a veterinarian. Together you will ensure a healthy and happy life for your furry friend.

Solutions for itching of the paws

When you discover that your four-legged friend is suffering from paw itching, there are some caring steps you can take to give him relief.

Pamper your dog with soothing foot baths

Oatmeal baths are a natural and effective way to reduce irritation. The anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties of oatmeal soothe the sensitive skin of the paws. After a walk or playtime, let your dog relax in a lukewarm oatmeal bath and enjoy the relief.

Keep your dog's paws clean and free of allergens

Rinse your dog's paws with water after every walk to remove dirt, pollen and other irritants. This helps to reduce itching and prevent further irritation. Avoid contact with irritants: grass, sand, cleaning products, etc. can aggravate the itching. Also take a look at your dog's nails and trim them if necessary. Long nails can damage the skin and cause itching.

Ensure a healthy diet

This is important for your dog's overall health, including the health of his skin. Consider special foods or supplements that promote skin health. Omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil and biotin are some nutrients that reduce itching and strengthen your dog's skin from within.

If the itching persists, seek help from your vet

Have you tried the above tips and does the itching persist? Please contact your vet. The vet can examine your dog and determine the cause of the itching. There may be a medical condition causing the itching, for which the vet can find appropriate treatment.
