Does your dog have fall season allergies? You may scoff at the idea of your pet having allergies but it is very real and very harsh in Autumn.
Below are some symptoms that most likely point to your pet being plagued by seasonal allergies.
Here are some of the culprits that could be causing the problem: Reaction to dust mites, flea and flea dust, mold allergies, or contact allergies to plants or indoor surfaces.
Some common fall plant issues arise from: Ragweed and mold are the most common allergic triggers in pets this season as well as sagebrush, pigweed, goldenrod, lamb’s quarters, curly dock, and the pollen that they release.
By learning what your pet is specifically allergic to, you will find the best treatment for them. You will also be more familiar with the signs of allergies, so when new symptoms begin, you will know when to change food, remove allergens in your environment, or make a call to your Veterinarian.
Always look for any behavior changes in your pet, and maintain proper grooming with shampooing and brushing. Your veterinarian will give you suggestions on anything else like medications immunosuppressants or desensitization therapy to help your pet get through the fall season without suffering.
