🐾 August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month!

While it’s normal for pets to have the occasional itch (don’t we all!) sometimes it can be indicative of something more uncomfortable for pets like allergies, parasites, or other skin conditions.

Here are the signs that it could be more than a simple itch. If you notice any of these, schedule a visit—we can help!
