My dog has recently started licking and eating the dirt. Why is he doing this? Is it harmful?
Pica is the eating of objects that are not appropriate food substances.

Cleanse the skin with a cream (e.g. aqueous cream) or an ointment (e.g. emulsifying ointment) rather than soap. Even 'gentle' or 'hypoallergenic' soaps dry the skin and this makes atopic dermatitis worse.
