Dog Scratching in Summer: Fleas, Allergies, or Heat?

Fleas: Enemies N ° 1 of summer

In summer, heat and humidity promote the proliferation of fleas. These small parasites feed on your dogS blood and can trigger an allergic reaction to flea bites, causing strong itching, especially at the base of the tail, on the back or thighs.

Even a single parasite may be enough to trigger a severe reaction in sensitive dogs. A regular antiparasitic therapy is therefore essential, as is the treatment of the environment (basket, carpet, car, etc.).
