Hey guys just a quick question.

I have a pug puppy dog. Hes 16 weeks and seems to be fit and healthy and growing like a bean sprout! He LOVES his food, hes currently getting fed RC and has been getting that ever since he started dry food.

I know all dogs have a 'itchy spot' but hes LOVES getting scratched and i noticed he seems to be using his back leg to scratch his side (near his wee curly tail) more and more often. His coat is still very shiney but i have noticed little bits of white dandruff.

Do you think this is just a dog thing? Would anyone suggest anything?

Hes been wormed to date and doesnt have fleas! His bed is kept clean and he is groomed often.

Thanks in advance

Hi, he might  have a skin mite called cheyletiellosis...also known as "walking dandruff". Its very itchy and the dogs scratch a lot.
It is contagious and can be transferred to humans...Im not saying that your pup has got this..but I would get it checked at the vets just to be sure.
Hope this helps:)

Just a thought but perhaps the RC might be a bit rich for him...but I would get the vet to check his "Dandruff" first tho.

Hey thanks for your reply.

My neighbour is a retired vet and i just chapped on his dor with pug on tow! He said that its nothing to be worried about and that he couldnt see his dandruff and that im paranoid. I told him the dandruff comes out when i scratch him or he scratches and he said thats normal since its sucha a small amount. I told him hes not scratching all the time just sometimes and its the same spot he does it. He said its quite common for a dog to have a 'itchy oh ah spot' haha!!

Im just so paranoid about him, hes my baby!!!

He has his 4 month check up in a week so i will mention it to the vet then aswel.
