Changes are in the air as the fall season begins to settle in.
Both dogs and their owners are affected by these changes,
specifically changes in the presence and types of allergens. In
addition to this, there is an increase in mold during this
time—mold affects your dogs whether or not they have allergies.
Assisi Animal Health answers five common questions about dealing
with your dog's allergies.
What are these fall allergies?
While there are actually no allergies that are only associated
with the fall season, allergies do appear to be cyclical. This
means that they repeat at the same time each year. Dogs can be
allergic to grass, dead leaves, dust and pollen. There is a direct
correlation between the fall and the likelihood that your dog will
be exposed to leaves, dust and pollen.
Which breeds have the most allergies?
While some may think that one breed may have more allergies than
another, there does not appear to be an actual relationship to
confirm this. Therefore, all dogs are potentially at risk of having
allergies. Inhalant allergies occur most frequently in bulldogs and
other similar brachycephalic breeds.
Can a dog's allergies change?
Yes, a dog's allergies can change throughout its life. Age can
be one of the factors that accounts for this. However, there is no
strict pattern or relationship, as the allergies can change from
one year to the next. If an owner wants to confirm a diagnosis,
that person can visit their veterinary dermatologist for
testing.
What are the symptoms?
When your dog has allergies, a combination of symptoms may be
present. This includes scratching, paw licking, itchy eyes, and
rashes. The dog may also sneeze more frequently, and its fur might
change color.
Why visit the vet?
Visit your veterinarian if you feel your dog has allergies.
While they may go away on their own, the side effects can severely
hurt your dog. If left untreated, allergies can cause yeast
infections, and self-trauma through scratching. Do not give your
dogs any over-the-counter medications without first consulting with
your veterinarian. While these medications do not require a
prescription, they can still cause your dog to have a negative
reaction.
The fall season is certainly a time of change. However, while
change can be good, dog owners must be observant, paying extra
attention to notice any signs of allergies in their pets. Always
remember that when in doubt, contact your veterinarian.
