Hello, sorry to hear about Marcelino. There are a couple of things you can try, but may or may not have a good outcome. Most of the time, dogs will bite and itch from allergies. You would need to have these treated to gain the best control on your dog's itching. However, if his biting and itching is mild, then you could try to bathe him with a skin sensitive shampoo 2-3 times weekly. You can also wipe his paws and belly with skin sensitive wipes after coming in from being outdoors to decrease the exposure form environmental allergens. Again, most of these have different response and Marcelino may not stop his biting completely. Hope this helps and best of luck.
