<human>: I have a dog that is constantly scratching, what is causing this?
<bot>: The most likely cause of your dog's scratching is fleas. Flea bites can cause itching and discomfort for dogs, so they may be trying to scratch the affected area in an attempt to relieve their symptoms. You should check your dog for fleas and treat them if necessary. Additionally, you can try using anti-itch products like calamine lotion or cortisone cream to help reduce the itching.
