A dog will 'scratch itself' for a variety of reasons. The most common being the presence of fleas. However, itching may be caused by dry skin, household chemicals (cleaners), Allergies, or cleanser.

Why do dogs sratch there fur?

Dogs will scratch their fur if they have an itch, if they have fleas, if they have allergies or are allergic to something or even if they have anxiety or they are nervous. Just ask your self why humans scratch themselves and you'll have your answer. If the dog scratches themselves alot they could cause rashes or cut them selves. Bring them to the vet if they scratch all the time, or just give them a bath and see what happens. (i would recommend very sensitive dog shampoos or baby wash)
