German Shepherd always scratches himself!
My friend has a large purebred German shepherd who seems to constantly have some sort of itch! The house has been exterminated within an inch of its life and he still scratches. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this and what to do about it will be hugely appreciated.:)

He is probably allergic to something, so that it's internal, not external. Please tell your friend to take the poor dog to a vet. |

Hello: If he EVER goes outside, he's probably got fleas.. Exterminating the house doesn't do it. You need to exterminate the dog. excon |

Try switching foods before you spend $500 at the vet for lab work, unless he is scratching sores on himself, by all means have him checked out, especially if he has a foul odor. |
