Seasonal Skin Allergies in dog?

Thanks for reaching out about your dog's seasonal skin issues. It’s quite common for dogs to develop skin allergies during certain times of the year. This is usually due to environmental allergens like pollen, mold, or dust mites, which can lead to itching, redness, and discomfort for your furry friend.



To help your dog at home, consider rinsing their paws and coat with water after walks to remove allergens. Regular grooming, including brushing and bathing with a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo, can also help soothe their skin. If your dog’s skin is very irritated, applying a cool, damp cloth might relieve some of the itchiness.



Watch for signs that suggest a more serious problem, such as excessive scratching, hair loss, open sores, or if your dog seems unusually tired or uninterested in food. These could indicate a more severe allergic reaction or an infection that requires professional care.



If you notice any worrying symptoms or need more personalized advice, I recommend setting up a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can provide a thorough assessment and guide you on the best steps for your dog’s specific needs.
