Allergies

Allergies: Allergies are common in dogs. There are three main types of allergies:

  • Contact allergies result from a reaction to substances that touch the dog’s skin like bedding, dog shampoo, flea powders, etc.
  • Food allergies are treated by removing relevant foods from the dog’s diet.
  • Inhalant allergies result from airborne allergens such as dust, pollen, and mildew.

Treatment varies depending on the cause and may include medication, dietary restrictions, and environmental changes.
