Itchy paws are a common problem in dogs that can be stressful for owners and their four-legged friends alike. Whether caused by allergies, parasitic infestation, or skin infections, it's important to identify the cause and treat it effectively. In this blog post, you'll learn more about the causes of itchy paws and how you can get quick relief with LOXOVET® SOS Gel .
Treatment and relief of itching
Once the cause of the itching is identified, treatment can begin. In addition to specific medications and allergy treatments, topical applications such as Loxovet 's SOS Gel can provide significant relief.
Causes of itchy paws
- Foreign bodies: Sometimes small foreign bodies, such as awns, become lodged between the toes and cause inflammation. These often require surgical removal.
- Parasites: Grass mites are a common culprit, especially in late summer and fall. Their bites cause intense itching and can lead to severe skin infections.
- Allergies: Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, or food can also cause itching on the paws.

Preventive measures
To prevent future itching, it's important to monitor your dog's environment and ensure it's free of parasites and allergens. Consider using preventative parasite treatments and keep your dog's living area clean and hygienic.
Additionally, walks in tall grass or areas known to be infested with grass mites should be avoided, especially during the active months of these parasites. Washing the paws after walks can also help remove allergens and parasites.
