There are several reasons this can occur. Try washing Henry with an antibacterial dog shampoo once a week. If this doesn’t help after a couple weeks or if it gets worse, have him seen by his veterinarian to check for skin mites, fungal infections (some of which humans can get) or allergies. Of course you don’t have to wait and you can have Henry checked at any point. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
