Is he scratching all over, or just in one spot?

It could be allergies, Boston's are prone to skin allergies... What does he eat?

A food or environmental allergy sounds about right! I'm also interested in hearing what food you have him on? It took me a little while to find a food that my girl could eat that didn't give her issues... she needs a no corn, soy, or grain diet!

Raini was scratching also. She had what looked like little white heads on her belly. Come to find out it was a staph infection. She was on antibiotics for over 2 weeks.

my guy is 6mth now and he's doing the same thing. I'm feeding him Purina puppy chow. Could it be the shampoo? Although I don't bath him to often I cant see it affecting him all the time unless it drys his skin?
