Did you know that dogs can have allergies in a way similar to people? Dogs can have food allergies and even regular nasal allergies. For example, if your allergies are acting up because it’s typical spring or fall allergy season then your dog’s allergies may be acting up too. Dogs that are six months or older can present signs of allergies. Some dogs are two years old or even older before showing signs of allergies. Signs to look out for include itching of the skin, coughing, sneezing, discharge from the eyes or nose, and in some cases digestive system upset resulting in vomiting or diarrhea. In addition, dogs with food allergies may start to develop hives or skin rashes or even skin peeling. It’s usually a process of elimination of food to find out the cause. If you think your dog has allergies please call your pet clinic Leesburg, VA to schedule a checkup.
