Our vet is giving up on our dog with severe allergies.

I'm so sorry to hear about the struggles with your dog’s allergies. It must be really challenging for both of you, but don't lose hope! Allergies are common in dogs and can stem from various factors such as food, environmental triggers like pollen, or even dust mites.



First, it’s crucial to identify what's causing the allergies. Has your vet performed tests to determine triggers? Sometimes it helps to keep a journal noting when and where your dog seems the most uncomfortable.



At home, you can try keeping your dog’s living area clean and dust-free. Regularly washing their bedding and wiping their paws with a damp cloth after they’ve been outside can remove potential allergens. If food allergies are suspects, a limited-ingredient diet trial might help, carefully isolating potential culprits under guidance.



Watch for red flags like continuous scratching, red or oozing skin, ear infections, or any changes in eating and behavior, which could mean the allergies are worsening or leading to secondary infections.



Sometimes managing allergies can involve a bit of trial and error, and a fresh perspective might offer new solutions. I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can look into other treatment options and get your pup on the road to comfort and joy.
