In life, we can see that many people are raising pet dogs as companions in life, but in the process of raising dogs, we always encounter various problems. For example, many people have told the editor that dogs at home always scratch their faces. I don’t know why, some even rubbed off the hair on their faces and bleeding their skin. From this point of view, it is really not to be underestimated if a dog scratches his face. So what is the reason why a dog always scratches his face?
1. Infection with parasites
Because dogs generally prefer to play on the grass outdoors or shuttle through the jungle, it is very likely to be infected with ticks, grass and fleas. If the owner does not deworm in time, the dog will feel itchy and painful in the skin due to the biting of parasites, because they will want to find places to rub, such as the neck and face, which cannot be scratched to the place where they get, and they want to find places to rub, and naturally there will be constant rubbing.
Solution: If the dog always scratches his face and rubs due to parasite infection, then parents should pay attention to regular deworming treatment for the dog. The growth cycle of extracorporeal parasites is one month, so the dog can be dewormed once every month, and spray or drops can be used; if the dog is dewormed internally, it can be given once every three months after adulthood. If the deworming is not timely, the dog will be difficult to absorb nutrition, resulting in thin body shape and poor physical fitness.
2. Vitamin deficiency
Some novice parents may not know that if the dog lacks vitamins for a long time, it will cause the skin on the face to become very dry and itchy. At this time, the dog will scratch his face.
Solution: In addition to feeding dog food, you must ensure that the dog's nutrients are comprehensive and balanced. If the vitamin deficiency is severe, you can appropriately reduce the feeding of dog's meat, and empty some stomachs to let the dog eat more fruits and vegetables. After supplementing enough vitamins, the dog's face will not be so dry, and naturally it will not feel itchy and will cause a slight slight situation.
3. There are wounds on the face that healing
If there are wounds on the dog's face in the healing stage, there will be new tissue cells during healing, so the dog will feel itchy, but they cannot scratch it with their hands like humans, so they can only fail to fall.
Solution: You can add appropriate itchy fun to your dog's food, and the wound should also be bandaged better, which can have a certain anti-itchi effect.
4. If the dog's face is red, bumpy or skinny, and the dog keeps scratching his face, you must confirm whether the dog has moss on his face.
Solution: If you have confirmed that there is moss on your dog's face, the owner must ensure that the indoor hygiene is clean and shave the hairs on the mossy part. At the same time, you can apply some skin care liquid to the mossy part, which can relieve itching. After the moss is healed, you will scratch your face and rub it.
In addition to the above reasons, if the dog's hygiene is not done well, there is a possibility that the dog cannot scratch its face. Therefore, the owner should ensure that the dog is clean and hygienic. He should take a bath three times a month in spring and autumn, twice a month in winter, and once a week in summer. Clean dogs can also give us a clean home environment.
