🍂🐾 FALL SKIN ALLERGIES: WHY IS MY PET SO ITCHY?! 🐾🍂

Fall brings cooler weather, cozy sweaters, and unfortunately… seasonal skin frustrations for our furry friends! 🍁🐶🐱

If your pet has been scratching more than usual, licking their paws, or shaking their head, they may be dealing with fall allergies or another skin irritation.

Common causes of fall itchiness include:

🐾 Seasonal allergies: Pollen, mold, and dust mites can trigger itchy skin and irritated paws.
🏡 Dry indoor air: Turning on the heat can dry out your pet’s skin, leading to flaking and irritation.
🦟 Fleas: Even as temperatures drop, fleas can still cause itching, hair loss, scabs, and skin irritation.

🔎 What should you watch for?
• Excessive scratching or licking
• Red, irritated skin
• Chewing at paws
• Recurrent ear infections
• Flaky skin or hair loss

❤️ How can you help your pet?
✔️ Keep your pet on year-round flea prevention.
✔️ Brush regularly and keep their bedding clean.
✔️ Watch for changes in their skin, coat, and behavior.
✔️ Contact your veterinary team if itching persists or you notice redness, sores, or hair loss. We can help determine the cause and find the best treatment for your pet!

🐶🐱 Don’t let a little itch turn into a bigger problem! If your furry family member is scratching up a storm this fall, give us a call. We’re here to help keep those tails wagging and those paws comfortable! 🧡🐾
