What could cause your young dog to have itchy ears

Your puppy pricking their ears up and tilting their head when you say their favorite words (walk? treat? dinnertime?) is among the most precious of dog behaviors. But a dog’s ears can also be a common source of discomfort for them. The repeated scratching and headshaking of a dog with itchy ears might have you concerned for your young dog.
