Dogs Could Be Allergic To Airborne Allergens

If your pet often breaks out in allergies, speak to your Inhalation allergy or atopy is when the immune system of a dog overreacts to inhaled or airborne allergens.  There are different allergens that could trigger atopy among them are molds, pollen, or dust.  Atopy breakouts can induce itching in dogs during certain seasons.  This extreme itching will cause the dog to lick, scratch, and bite constantly at itchy sections of the animal’s body, usually the face and feet.  The itching could be around the armpits, eyes, ears, and his rear legs’ inner portion.  Respiratory issues are less frequently exhibited symptoms.

A couple of tests can be employed to find out the exact reason for the itching.  One is the IgE testing and the other is the intradermal allergy skin test.  There are allergic injections that can be administered to canines that suffer from allergies, but the effectiveness in minimizing symptoms is only effective in 50% of dogs that get the treatment. Consult your pet clinic Scottsdale AZ regarding the most effective treatment options available for your dog.
