Pet Allergies and Dermatology

Allergy-induced skin conditions are some of the most common reasons for bringing a pet to Jones Veterinary Hospital. Do you think your pet is having an allergic reaction? Itching, scratching and hot spots are all good indications of allergies. Pet allergies are very common and treatable, but can fester and become serious health conditions if left untreated.

Dogs and cats typically experience three different types of allergies:

  • Flea allergy: The bite of a flea on your dog or cat causes an intense allergic reaction resulting in itchy skin.

  • Food allergy: An aspect of your pet's diet triggers reactions such as itchy skin, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal problems.

  • Skin allergy or Atopic Dermatitis: An allergen or foreign substance is inhaled or makes contact with the skin cause extremely itchy skin. This can lead to skin infections or other skin injuries from excessive scratching.

Common Causes of Pet Allergies Although some environmental allergens may be specific to certain regions of Andalusia, common pet irritants include:

  • Tree Pollen

  • Dust Mites

  • Fleas

  • Grasses

  • Mold

  • Cockroaches

  • Cleaning Products

  • Household materials and fabrics

Once the allergens have been identified, we develop a program to eliminate the source of the allergen in your pet’s environment.

Other options for itch relief include:

  • antihistamines combined with essential fatty acids

  • anti-itch conditioners

  • topical steroid sprays

  • oral steroids

  • anti-itch prescriptionss

  • Evaluation by a board certified veterinary dermatologist

We will explain your pet’s condition, how to prevent future allergy occurrences and the proper method of home treatment for pet allergies.
