Why Your Teddy Keeps Scratching and How to Help
A Teddy that won't stop scratching may just need a bath, but it can also mean mosquito bites or ringworm. Bathe and dry thoroughly for dirt; use a vet-recommended topical parasiticide for bug bites; for ringworm, clip the fur and apply an antifungal spray. Boost nutrition during treatment and check the skin often.

Sudden shedding in a Poodle is usually a skin condition or a lack of trace nutrients.

If none, it may be a nutrient deficiency or molt — feed hair-and-coat-supporting foods and vitamins.
I noticed a lot of dandruff on its skin right before a bath — what’s going on?

My Toy Poodle keeps scratching with its paws and rubbing against the wall — what’s going on?
Constant scratching can be a skin condition or just a dirty, unbathed coat. Check for scabs, red patches, hair loss, and dandruff; if present, a vet-recommended topical skin ointment treats it. If not, a medicated, parasite-control shampoo and a vet-recommended external parasite treatment usually resolve it.
