Controlling That Hounding Itch - Treating Dog Allergies?
Man’s best friend can also share one of man’s worst enemies - allergies. There is nothing as bad as a constant itch and constant itching is even worse in dogs who cannot even share their misery with you. If your dog is constantly scratching, has red, inflamed skin or is losing his hair, he could have allergies. There are three types of allergies in dogs - inhalant allergies, food allergies and contact allergies. Inhalant allergies are the most common and hardest to treat. Contact allergies are the least common. Identifying what type of allergy your dog has is the first step in treatment. Dog allergy treatment is effective over 90% of the time. Inhalant allergies occur when a dog inhales a substance he is allergic to. This could be anything from dust mites to pollen outside. Some people classify flea allergies in this category, but it is not a true inhalant allergy. Inhalant allergies are often seasonal. Some strategies to combat common inhalant allergies are to not let your pet stay in the room as you vacuum, wash your pet’s bedding at least weekly in hot water, don’t let your dog go into tall grass and bathe him off after he goes outside. If your dog has fleas, he should be treated with a flea medication. Even one flea can make a dog with allergies miserable. Food allergies occur when your dog is allergic to something he eats. If your dog eats people food, you should eliminate this from his diet. Then feed your dog one brand of quality food until you find a brand he can tolerate. Special rice and potato dog food can be purchased from your vet for the dog who has extreme food allergies. Contact allergies occur when your dog touches or lies against a surface that has something on it he is allergic to. If your pet has contact allergies, consider switching to baby shampoo for baths and using a free and clear detergent to wash his bedding. Supplementing your dog’s diet with fatty-3 omega acids and biotin has been shown to improve the condition of their skin and coat and reduce the symptoms of dog allergies. Your vet can also prescribe steroids and special shampoos to reduce the itching and inflammation of your dog’s skin. Finding an effective dog allergy treatment helps your dog be healthier and happier.
