Pet Allergies and Dermatology

Allergy-induced skin conditions are some of the most common reasons for bringing a pet to Heartland Animal 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: Something in the diet of your dog or cat triggers a reaction 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, causing extremely itchy skin. This can lead to skin infections or skin injuries from excessive scratching.

Dog and Cat Allergy Symptoms

  • Itchy, red skin

  • Hives

  • Vomiting

  • Diarrhea

  • Ear Infections

  • Noticeable increase in scratching

  • Constant chewing or licking of paws

Common Causes of Pet Allergies:

  • Tree Pollen

  • Dust Mites

  • Fleas

  • Grasses

  • Mold

  • Cockroaches

  • Cleaning Products

  • Perfumes

  • Household materials and fabrics

Pet Allergy & Itch Treatment

Once the allergens have been identified we can develop a program to eliminate the source of the allergy 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

  • Oral or injectable immunotherapy

  • 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.
