    My dog is always itching near his back paw
    Hi please help me I have a 2 year old dog who is on advantage so he cannot have flees. He is always itching in the same place near his private and back of his front paw. I have look over his skin he has no rashes no black marks he is not losing any fur. I have given him a bath and it hasn't stopped the itching. I don't know what to do . I am a single mother moving 5 hours away so all my money is going towards that other wise I would take him to vet. He is up todate on his shots. He hasn't had any new foods. If anyone has been thought this before and has any suggestions on what has worked please help

    Just because a dog is on advantage doesn't mean they don't get bitten at all. Advantage kills the flea after biting the dog. So take a close look for a reddish dot in the area of the itching.

    Could just be some dry skin?

    Go get one of those "itch" collars... he will look silly but then he can't itch. Give it a few days to a week for the itchy areas to "heal" if they need too. Then take it off, see if it helps.
