www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-03-20-seasonal-allergy-in-dogsStory at-a-glance Spring is almost here, which means many dogs are about to start itching, scratching, and feeling generally miserable thanks to seasonal environmental allergies such as grass allergies Grass and other environmental allergies in dogs almost always involve the skin rather than the eyes and respiratory tract; affected animals are typically very itchy, and the itch-scratch-chew cycle can result in irritated, inflamed skin, hot spots, and secondary infections There are several things you can do starting today to relieve your dog’s seasonal discomfort, including addressing her diet, treating dysbiosis if necessary, and supplementing with essential fatty acids It’s also important to effectively control indoor allergens in your home, and give your dog regular foot soaks, baths, and eye rinses Talk to your integrative veterinarian about natural antihistamines, and if necessary, consider a desensitization protocol ideally initiated before the start of allergy season My notes: Does your dog have any allergies? Ours has dust mites but it's not any worse or any better in the seasons.
