Your pet is the member of your family just like your little sis or bro. And of course it hurts you to watch your puppy or kitten suffer from certain diseases, unpleasant conditions or discomforts.
That’s why as a (potential) pet owner you must know that animals suffer from allergies just like us humans. Your pet may suffer from both seasonal and stable allergies which imply the following allergens: plants, trees, flowers; food, insects, dust – anything your pet may come across with either outside or within the boundaries of your dwelling.
What is peculiar, your pet may have several types of allergies simultaneously. Although there is no stable cure for allergies, you should still consider immunotherapy for it will help you tame the little member’s of your family allergies.
Typically diagnosing your pet’s allergies imply a proper examination by a vet, that prompts paying special attention to a pet’s skin problems. Be prepared to tell your vet what you feed your pet with, if this condition is permanent or temporary (seasonal), or if it is especially adverse outside or inside your dwelling.
In order to track down the symptoms and signs which may indicate that your pet suffers from allergies, you must be very attentive to its behavior. Most common signs are biting, scratching, rubbing, feet chewing. For instance, if your dog suffers from allergy, you will observe it scratching its belly, rubbing its face and (or) chewing on its paws till they are inflamed. As a rule, these signs lead to hair loss or infections which manifest themselves in hair loss, skin and ear diseases.
Remember that we are immensely responsible for our pets, and do your best to take a good care of their health.
