Need help
I have a female staffie and she keeps rubbing her back on the coffee table. She seems to enjoy this with the noises she make but it's rubbing her fur off. Any ideas

Re: Need help
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Have you checked to make sure there is nothing irritating the skin ? It could just be a habit, if that is the case I think all you can do is try and break that habit by putting something in the way.
When you get a min do pop along here and say hi :-

Re: Need help
Does she try to do this on any other furniture or any other "scratching post's" ?, as said above it may be a habit you could break by distracting her with a squeaky toy perhaps.
If this persists have a word with the vet and see what they suggest.
