All Month: Itchy Pet Awareness Month
Zoetis is launching Itchy Pet Awareness Month this August to encourage pet owners and veterinarians to engage in conversation about “itch behavior” and to raise awareness about pet skin health needs. Skin-related issues are the top four reasons pet owners bring their dogs in for veterinary visits, including skin allergies, ear infections, skin lumps/bumps and skin infections. Symptoms can be difficult to discern from “normal” dog behavior; therefore, Zoetis is encouraging dog owners to visit www.ItchingForHelp.com to take the itch quiz and identify when an itch is more than just an itch.
