He started this morning about 4:30 and it woke me up from a sound sleep. In Texas, I wouldn't have really thought about it -- I would have thought it fleas or ant bites. But this is Colorado. Fleas don't exist here, especially in the winter. I'm wondering if it's possible that he has allergies. Has anyone had experience with this? For background information, my dog is a 7 month old lab/golden mix. I feed him Science Diet dry food, Science Diet canned, KalKan canned food, rawhides and milkbone type treats. He also eats anything he can find including cat turds and leftover garbage. I've been including powered vitamin C with his breakfast and different oils with his dinner. His coat looks great and he loves to swim. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
