Dog Signs of Irritation

A simple guide to help you help your dog.

  1. Your dog is sitting on his or her bottom then dragging his or her bottom along the ground with their front paws

    Answer: This is a clear sign of worms. Your dog is trying to detach the worms from its body by rubbing its bottom along the ground. This can be a big problem if not looked after due to worms spreading throughout your entire family. To prevent this, use a good quality worming solution.
  2. Your dog is constantly scratching its back, usually with it's back legs and also flops on his or her back then rubs

    Answer: This is a sign of irritation to the skin. This can be caused due to allergies. Ranging from grass through to diet. A simple solution is to try out a simple diet consisting of fish and potato dry dog food. You should usually trial your dog on this for 6 weeks. This will tell you whether it's diet related or just something outside irritating your dogs skin. A great brand for this food is Eukanuba, they are great for your dog and you know they are quality food and won't upset your dog. Also it's the only fish and potato dog food on the market.
  3. Your dog keeps scratching his or her mouth with their front paws. Causing redness to the gums.

    Answer: This can show a sign of many things. One of the main things is intestinal irritation due to something they have eaten. A diet would help discover what the food problem is and then all you need to do is eliminate that food. If your dog is puffing out his or her lip this can be a simple sign of a bee sting. The only thing you can do for this is let the dog deal with this in due time.
