Itchy

Q: Puppy itching more than usual in evening and searching cool place to sit

A: Both of those observations suggest irritation to the skin and the most common reason for that in a young puppy is dryness. Here is some info that should help: If the skin looks normal with no redness, sores or rash it is probably due to dryness. Using a mild puppy shampoo like aloe and oatmeal as well as a “leave on” conditioner can help. The best long term measure is using an omega 3 fatty acid supplement but it can take a few weeks before you see the effects of it.
