Persistent Scratching. Most of the things that cause itching, such as allergies and fleas, are fairly easy to treat at home - either by getting rid of the underlying cause of the itching or by treating the symptom itself. The problem with persistent scratching is that dogs can damage the skin, causing hard-to-heal sores or infections. It’s worth asking your veterinarian what the problem is and whether there’s a long-term treatment that’s likely to be effective.
