Manage Your Dog's Itching Caused By Allergies
|
| Allergies in dogs may be triggered by food or the environment (dust mites or pollen) and can cause persistent itching for your pet. If left untreated, your dog is likely to develop chronic ear infections, hot spots, or other skin infections, which can cause the skin to have a strong odor.

|
|
Scratching, pawing at the nose, biting, and persistent licking are all common symptoms of allergies.

Max's Tip: For severe cases of skin allergies, talk with your veterinarian who may prescribe a corticosteroid.
