Ways To Help Seasonal Allergies
Spring is in the air along with spring bloom comes pollen. Pets can suffer from seasonal allergies just as much as their owners, and it is important to recognize the symptoms of summer allergies to help your pet find relief.
Dogs
Dogs are subject to the same seasonal allergy triggers as many humans, and may be allergic to trees, grass, pollen, mold, insect stings, flea bites, feathers, and other allergens that have seasonal fluctuations. Your dog’s intolerance can develop over time, and may suddenly seem to be allergic when no allergy symptoms have been obvious in the past. Try to avoid walking your dog in the early morning or late afternoon, when pollen levels are typically highest.
Cats
Cats can have seasonal allergies especially if they go outdoors in the spring time. Like dogs, cats can have allergic reactions to pollen and other allergens that are more active in the spring. You can help reduce the chance of your cat having an allergic reaction during the spring by keeping them indoors, particularly on dry, windy days. Try to be mindful when you let your cat enjoy the outdoors after mowing the lawn, weed pulling, or gardening.
Signs Your Pet Is Experiencing Allergies
- Red watery eyes
- Excessive paw licking
- Hives, rashes, skin irritations
- Swollen Paws
- Sneezing
- Ear infections
- Itchy skin ( excessive itching, hair loss, hot spots, biting, red skin irritations)
Ways To Help Seasonal Allergies
First determine whether the allergies are seasonal or there could be a food allergy going on so consult with your Vet who can diagnosis the issue.
Baths: Removing allergens from your dog’s skin with soothing baths can minimize allergic reactions. Avoid perfumed soaps or shampoos, however, which could aggravate tender skin.
