Itching in dogs can stem from various causes, such as allergies, dry skin, parasites like fleas, or environmental irritants. Since your dog is on flea and tick prevention, fleas are less likely to be the culprit, but it's still a good idea to check her coat for any signs of fleas or ticks.

To help alleviate her itching at home, you might consider a few steps. First, examine her skin and coat for any redness, bumps, or irritation, and double-check for fleas or ticks despite the prevention measures. Bathing her with a gentle, hypoallergenic dog shampoo can also be beneficial, as it may remove potential allergens or irritants from her coat and skin.

If her skin appears dry, using a dog-safe moisturizer or conditioner could help soothe her discomfort. Additionally, consider her diet, as food allergies can sometimes lead to itching. Reflect on any recent changes in her diet that might be contributing to the issue.

Keep an eye out for other symptoms such as redness, swelling, or hair loss, which might indicate an underlying problem. If her itching continues or you observe any other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying conditions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
