Chiggers are a type of mite.
No, chiggers are not insects.Specifically, chiggers are the larval stage of a family of mites. Mites belong to the arachnid -- not the insect -- class. Like insects, mites have externally-located skeletons. But like spiders, they sport eight legs.
Chiggers are tiny 6-legged creatures. They are known to attack people in wooded and/or damp areas. They are most commonly found during summertime when grass and weeds grow the heaviest. Chiggers do not bury themselves into the skin like small ticks do; they bite near the hair follicles and produce red welts which can be very painful and itchy. Chiggers are very small and cannot be seen without a magnifying glass. They usually feed on snakes, birds, and mammals; even humans. Chiggers usually bite humans where clothing fits tightly or in places like waistlines, armpits, and behind the knees. Chiggers are not known to carry disease in the United States. When they bite, the symptoms can continue for about a week. If symptoms are not treated, then they become a secondary infection.

Did you check for chiggers, I have a dog as well and she has no fleas but she has had chiggers before. We didn't know why she was scratching so much but then I found out chiggers while their young cannot not be seen by peoples regular eyes. So we took her to the vet asked if she had chiggers and he got a special dog out and had it sniff for chiggers, and what do you know he was cured. So check for chiggers, maybe that's the problem.
Yes, they can be.
