Bigstock-French-bulldog-scratching-his--54681419Is itching tormenting dogs in your shelter, in dogs that you foster or in your own home? Help is on the way!

Itching is one of the top reasons dogs visit veterinarians, and it plagues dogs in animal shelters and foster care just as much as those already in homes. What can be done to give an affected dog some relief and get to the bottom of the underlying cause?

In Part 1 of a four-part series on veterinary dermatology in shelter and foster home pets, Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology Dr. Karen Moriello will tackle this tough problem with a special focus on approaches suitable to the limited resources of shelters and rescue groups, and the role of foster families in the treatment of itchy dogs.

Join us for this free webcast, How to Stop Itching in Shelter and Foster Home Dogs, on Thursday, February 12, 2015, at 9 PM Eastern, as Dr. Moriello presents an overview of the common causes of itching in dogs and a practical approach for the diagnosis and treatment of skin ailments.
