What Are Seasonal Allergies for Pets? 

Your pet can have a number of uncomfortable allergies. Some of these mean excessive scratching because their skin is irritated. Below are some of the symptoms to be on the lookout for:

• Biting or scratching his coat
• Infected, inflamed, or red skin
• Lots of shedding
• Compulsive paw licking
• Chronic ear infections
• Respiratory issues, like coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing

Dermatitis

While visiting our animal hospital in Sagamore Hills, OH, ask a vet on our veterinary team about conditions like dermatitis, which can cause swelling and skin irritation. It can be caused by skin allergies and can cause your pet a lot of discomfort. A vet on our team can find out if your pet is suffering from dermatitis with a pet wellness exam.

Treatments

Treating allergies for your pet is similar to taking care of allergies in humans. Your pet can safely take allergy medications meant for pets to handle his symptoms. The dosage varies based on your pet's needs and weight. Before taking medication, contact a veterinarian on our veterinary team.
