My dog is scratching a lot. Is there anything I can do to stop the scratching?

Yes, there are several things you can try to help your dog stop scratching. You could use a deterrent spray or powder that contains capsaicin, which will cause your dog discomfort when they touch their skin. You could also apply a barrier cream to the area where they scratch and this may help to reduce the urge to scratch. Additionally, you might want to consider using calming products such as lavender oil, chamomile essential oil, or peppermint oil on the affected areas to help relax them.
