Dogs biting themselves can be alarming, but it's often a sign of a mild itch or an underlying health condition.
Common causes include dry skin, allergies, skin infections, parasites, arthritic pain, and anxiety or boredom.
It's crucial to consult a veterinarian to diagnose the issue and provide the appropriate treatment, which may involve topical medications, shampoos, or even an e-collar.
Preventing your dog from biting themselves is essential for their skin and coat health, requiring patience, consistent treatment, and potentially engaging activities to distract them.
