Itch & Scratch Chewies, 90ct

What are Itch & Scratch Chewies for Dogs?

Itch & Scratch Chewies are a vet-formulated, balanced blend of herbs and nutrients that soothe itching and help maintain your dog's healthy skin.

Featuring a classic four-herb formula used in traditional Chinese medicine for 'damp heat,' including itching and reddened, swollen skin, Itch & Scratch Chewies target the underlying imbalances that cause skin to become uncomfortably red and sometimes unbearably itchy, including on the paws and between the toes. Together with skin-supportive nutrients, including omega-3 essential fatty acids and vitamins C and E, Itch & Scratch Chewies work to restore and maintain healthy skin from the inside out.

Itch & Scratch Chewies do not contain wheat, corn, soy, dairy, beef, chicken, or animal by-products, common skin allergens that are often found in dog foods and treats.

What are Itch & Scratch Chewies helpful for?

Itchy skin is an increasingly common reason for visits to the veterinarian. In dogs, the primary way an allergy manifests is through the skin.

Allergies that affect the skin may appear as:

• Increased and sometimes incessant itching, scratching, and/or licking
• Redness
• Moist or dry, flaky skin; scabbing
• Itchy ears (and possibly ear infections)
• Swollen and itchy paws

The itching may be widespread or localized to one area. Your dog's behavior may also change because a constant state of itchy discomfort can quickly lead to irritability, disrupted sleep, exhaustion, and snapping.

Itch & Scratch Chewies provide support for itchy, red, dry, or moist skin that can arise from allergic responses affecting your dog's skin. Repeated scratching may also cause the skin to break, creating an opportunity for infection.

What causes skin allergies?

Like people, dogs are susceptible to irritants and allergens they encounter in their environment or in their diet. Some dog breeds have a higher incidence of allergies that can affect their skin. The most common allergens are environmental (known as contact allergy or atopy), food ingredients, and flea and insect bites. Secondary skin reactions may occur due to another health issue or a medication.

Common allergens include:

• Pollens and grasses
• Dust, dust mites, and molds
• Fragrances and other chemicals including those found in laundry detergents, dog shampoos, and household cleaners
• Cigarette smoke
• Prescription medication (including flea medication or medicated flea products)
• Insect bites (including fleas)
• Dander and feathers (may be in pillows, duvets or bedspreads)
• Foods such as dairy products, beef products, soy, wheat, corn, chicken, and chicken by-products
• Foods or treats containing food coloring

Allergic responses may also cause respiratory-related symptoms such as:

• Sneezing
• Runny, itchy nose
• Breathing difficulties (due to airborne allergens)

Is it an allergy - or just dry skin?

A decrease in indoor or outdoor humidity can lead to a dry environment and cause the skin to become dry and itchy. Watch for signs of your dog itching when you activate the heat or air conditioning, or when seasonal changes make the air drier. You can measure your home's humidity with a hygrometer available at hardware or home improvement stores. An ideal humidity level is between 35 and 50%. If your home air becomes too dry, using a humidifier can add the necessary moisture to keep your dog—and yourself—comfortable and healthy.

Allergic-type symptoms may be clues that your dog has another type of disorder, so be sure to have your dog examined by a veterinarian.
