What Happens When Pets Get Pollen Allergies


When springtime comes, plants release pollen spores in the air. These spores come out just so the trees can produce fruits and trees. Aside from humans, our pets can be allergic to spores. Humans express their allergies by sneezing or having watery eyes.


For pets, their allergic reactions come in the form of licking the paws, scratching their body, scooting, and having infections. These conditions make your pet feel miserable.


Your pet will show allergic symptoms that may arise during the changing seasons. The pollens may be the culprit. But the vet can also conduct a skin test or blood test to see the cause of allergies.


Sometimes, the pollen may not be the culprit in your pet’s seasonal allergies. Sometimes, fleas can come out especially during spring and summer.


Thus, pets with an allergy to flea saliva will also be affected during the change of season. Dogs might scratch after a flea bite, but those with allergic reactions might also experience hair loss or skin swelling. You can use topical or oral flea treatment to relieve your pet from flea allergy dermatitis.


If you have concerns about your pet health and/or behavior, warrant an appointment with your animal clinic Sherman Oaks, CA.
