Itchy pets! 5 reasons why your pet is always stretching

If your pet suffers from problem skin, then your vet should always be the first port of call to treat the uncomfortable symptoms and establish the root cause of the problem. This is notoriously difficult as there are many possible causes such as:

1. Environmental allergies 


2. Flea or mites


3. Bacterial or yeast infections


4. Stress If all of these have been eliminated, it might be time to take some food for thought


5. Itchy skin may be symptomatic of an adverse food reaction!

One might typically expect a dog or cat suffering from dietary allergies to experience digestive problems, but the skin and coat are also often affected.

So, If your pet has a potential food allergy or sensitivity contributing towards itchy skin, a change in diet may help alleviate the symptoms. Consider removing potentially provocative ingredients from the main diet (and treats!) and choosing a food that provides extra support to the digestion, skin and immune systems. (See our handy infographic  about which features to look for in a sensitive diet).
