Symptoms

In autumn, many dogs develop skin problems, particularly itching on the neck and chest. Damp weather, cool temperatures, and fallen leaves can irritate the skin and significantly affect your dog’s well-being. Early recognition and action are crucial to keep the skin healthy.

Typical symptoms include:

• Frequent scratching or licking of the neck and chest

• Red or irritated skin

• Small flakes or dry patches of skin

• Hair loss in affected areas

• Restlessness or discomfort during walks

Itching on the neck and chest is especially common because these areas often get wet and are further stressed by collars.

Causes: itching on the neck and chest in dogs

The causes of autumn-related itching are varied but usually understandable:

• Moisture and wetness: Rain, dew, and damp leaves soak the fur and irritate the skin.

• Cold exposure: Cold air dries out the skin, making it more sensitive to irritation.

• Allergies: Pollen residue, fungal spores, or dust mites in autumn can trigger allergic reactions.

• Mechanical friction: Collars or harnesses can create pressure points on wet fur.

• Microbiome imbalance: Moisture and temperature fluctuations disrupt the natural skin flora, making the skin more prone to inflammation.

Often, several causes occur together, which makes prevention and care particularly important.
