Springtime is synonymous with beautiful flowers, warmer days, more sunshine, and, for some, the return of dreaded seasonal allergies. While the telltale signs that allergy season is upon us are easy to spot and treat for humans, many don’t know that seasonal allergies can affect your pup, too. Just like us, they can experience uncomfortable symptoms as well.
Have you noticed your dog scratching its coat and licking its paws more? These may be signs that they are affected by these pesky allergies. Here are a few telltale signs to keep an eye out for.
Continuous scratching and itching
Red, inflamed, or infected skin
Excessive paw licking and chewing
Chronic ear infections
When you notice signs of an allergic reaction, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian
