SEASONAL ALLERGIES:DOGS FEEL IT, TOO!

Is your dog scratching more than normal? It could be seasonal allergies! They just react differently than we do.

FIND THE SIGN THAT POINT TO ALLERGIES:

Learn to spot the clues by checking three simple things: their ears, skin and paws (ESP).

Ears: While we feel it in our sinuses and get runny noses, dogs feel it in their ears!

Ear infections often happen during allergy season.

When to visit your vet:

Strong odor
Discharge
Recurring ear infections
Pawing of ears
Shaking head

Skin

Starting to get itchy eyes? With dogs, seasonal allergies bring itchy skin! Allergens are a major cause of skin reactions.

When to visit your vet:

Itching
Constant and obsessive grooming
Rubbing against furniture for relief
Hair loss
Skin redness or lesions

Paws

Pollen affect people and dogs during allergy season, just differently. People sneeze excessively; dogs lick their paws excessively!

Excessive chewing at paws
Grooming is removing fur
