Dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies and food allergies. Seasonal allergies cause sneezing and watery eyes and also skin problems such as rashes and dry patches. Your dog may scratch and cause wounds that can easily become infected. You may also notice hair loss and lethargy. To help your dog you need to figure out what he is allergic to and keep it out of your dog’s environment. You can also give your dog soothing baths to reduce scratching. Your dog may even need medication for the itching or infection. Some dogs even get allergy shots if their reaction is severe. Food allergies are managed by not allowing your dog to ingest food he is sensitive to. This may be determined through a set or trials, looking for a reaction. If your dog seems to have an allergic reaction, make an appointment with your vet clinic North West London, ON for evaluation and treatment.
