Changing seasons from winter to summer impacts dogs as well as humans. This is particularly true about skin. Your dog’s fur is affected by the change of climate.

In winter, the fur becomes dry due to the cold dry air, and as we humans apply dry skin lotion, dogs who are constantly scratching, biting and licking their fur, are probably victims of the dry skin. When this happens, there will be red marks around the body of your dog. He or she will be concentrating on those spots, probably making them worse by constantly scratching and biting at those areas.

Keep alert for this, especially if your dog is continuously doing the above. Immediately take your dog to the vet for treatment.

It is important that you regularly give your dog a bath with a mild moisturizing shampoo that gives body to the coat. Moisture in the shampoo will help heal the dry spots, remove fleas and reduces itchiness in your dog’s skin
