Allergies are incredibly common in our pets, especially here on the coast, and can be divided into four known categories: contact, flea, food, and inhalant. When discussing inhalant allergies, we can’t forget mold or mildew, and of course, the dust mite! Unfortunately, the clinical signs of all allergic reactions are similar, and in cases tend to overlap, but each type can manifest its own unique characteristics. For reasons obvious to the seasonally suffering human, allergies are just as misery inducing in our pets. Itchy, raw, and irritated skin, watering eyes, nasal discharge, and congestion make up but a few symptoms that should inspire a visit to your veterinarian.
