Is your dog doing the cha-cha on the carpet? Is your cat channeling its inner contortionist for a scratching session at 3am? Do you have itchy pets?

You’re not alone! In this episode of the Paws & Effect Podcast, Dr Carra welcomes Dr. Amaury Briand, Board-Certified Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology at Advisia, near Paris, and yes, he’s seen more itchy pets than you’ve had hot dinners.

In this fabulously informative and entertaining episode, Dr. Briand dives into the scratchy world of pet skin with a treasure trove of expert advice, including:

• Why your “indoor-only” cat still needs flea treatments (fleas are party crashers, it seems!)
• The real difference between normal scratching and a skin drama worthy of Shakespeare.
• How to pick the right diet for glowing, fabulous fur, hydrolysed protein, anyone?
• Shampoo secrets: why your dog deserves better than your own anti-dandruff bottle.
• How sunshine, rain, dusty sofas and even smelly candles conspire against your pet’s skin.

Tune in for Dr Briand’s tips, surprising stories (did you know some dogs come to the vet simply because they smell like day-old socks?) and practical hacks for every pet owner who dreams of peace, sleep, and scratch-free snuggles.
