As it is heading into spring/summer allergy season is among us! It's not just us humans affected it is also our furry friends.
Allergies can be triggered by many things, including food, pollen, food and particular plants including grass and wandering dew. Allergies can develop at any age but most commonly between the ages 1-3 years.
One of the most noticeable signs of a skin allergy is excessive itching. Affected dogs may scratch, lick, chew, or rub their skin frequently. Other symptoms can include red or inflamed skin, rashes, dry or flaky skin, hair loss, scabs, sores, and an unpleasant smell.
Allergies can also affect a dogโs ears, sometimes causing repeated ear infections. If a dog continually scratches or bites its skin, the damaged area can become infected with bacteria or yeast.
Luckily we have many tools in our toolbox to treat skin allergies so if your dog has any of the above signs please get in touch on 06 764 8196!
