The best way to prevent your dog from scratching at their skin is to provide them with plenty of chew toys and appropriate chew deterrents such as nylon bones or rawhide strips. You can also try using calming pheromones, which are natural products that help reduce anxiety in dogs. Additionally, make sure to regularly groom your dog’s coat, as well as trim any excess hair around the area they are scratching.
