Dogs often touch their faces with their front feet

Dogs often touch their faces with their front feet. It may be that there is foreign matter in the dog’s eyes. The foreign matter makes the dog uncomfortable, so the dog will touch its face with its front feet. It is also possible that the dog has a skin disease, and the itching causes the dog to want to scratch, and the back feet cannot reach it, so the dog will touch its face with its front feet. The owner can check the dog's face to see if there are any abnormalities.
