Animals can have all of the same allergies as people. Just like people, allergies are treated symptomatically but never cured. An animals histamine release is in the skin, the most common areas being the face, feet, groin, underarm and tail. Pets with allergies lick, chew and scratch. Left untreated, most animals experience hair loss and get secondary skin infections. Allergies can be to foods but are most commonly environmental. Some are year round while others are seasonal. Our doctors can keep your pet comfortable with allergy management protocols.
