Summer is the peak season for fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.

These pests aren't just annoying. They carry diseases that can seriously affect your pet's health.

- Fleas cause skin irritation, ingestion can lead to tapeworms in your pet and if gone untreated, can cause infestations in your home.
- Ticks transmit many diseases including Lyme.
- Mosquitoes spread heartworm disease.

Scratching. Licking. Chewing. If your dog is doing a lot of this, it is not just a quirk.

Persistent itching is one of the most common reasons dogs come to see us, and it usually means something is going on beneath the surface.

From seasonal allergies to skin infections, there are a lot of reasons your dog could be uncomfortable. The good news is that most skin conditions are very treatable once we figure out the cause.

If your dog has been itchier than usual, do not wait for it to get worse.
