How To Treat A Dog’s Allergies For A Happier, Healthier Dog

How To Treat A Dog’s Allergies

How to treat a dog’s allergies is usually a desperation question when your dog is deeply miserable with allergy symptoms.  With the exception of a few allergies, the best treatment for your dog’s allergies is actually prevention.  For seasonal allergies such as pollen and grasses, your veterinarian can test and provide medication to help relieve your dog’s allergy symptoms, such as: itchy skin, sneezing, red, itchy eyes and drippy nose.

Most allergies that plague your dog can be prevented by a careful evaluation of the products you use on your dog and in your household, as well as the dog food you feed your dog.
