In regards to the itching - what are you feeding him on? It could be an allergy to his food or his environment.

Do you think he has an allergy to the tile? Or maybe he has an allergy to the cleaning solution I used to mop the floor?

any thoughts?

If he's itching, it could be a sign the food is not working for him.

By environmental, I meant things like pollen/grass/fleas etc. These can all cause itching - has he been treated for fleas recently?


ETA: One of my dogs was on Artemis and had a serious reaction, she was itching and biting herself until she bled - and Artemis is one of the best dog foods on the market! The quality of the food means nothing IF the dog is allergic to a particular protein source like chicken.
