DRY SKIN AND IRRITATION – Dry skin can often lead to dog itch problems. A variety of factors, including weather, fatty acid deficiencies, and how you bath your dog can cause dry skin in dogs. Your pet may respond to the discomfort by scratching or licking at her skin or fur.
Dry skin tends to make flea infestations or allergic reactions to environmental factors worse.
Dry skin can combine with allergens and / or flea bites to make a dog very itchy. Dry skin is more easily irritated than healthy skin - so if allergens get on the dog's dry skin or a flea bites into a dog's dry skin the dog may become exceedingly itchy.
