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.

 
  

Relieve your dog's itching.

Use topical sprays to instantly relieve redness, inflammation, and itching of the skin.
 
 
  
Allergies in dogs aren't always fleas. They can also be triggered by allergens in the environment or in the food your pet eats.
  

Soothe skin with a moisturizing shampoo.

Wash your pet with a shampoo formulated for flaking and itching that may be a result of skin allergies.
 
  

  

Clean your dog's ears regularly.

Persistent itching and scratching from allergies can lead to chronic ear infections. Regularly cleaning your pet's ears can prevent yeast and bacteria buildup.
 
  

  

Feed your dog a diet with Omega 3.

Some dogs may itch due to the type of food they eat. Many commercial pet foods lack essential fatty acids that help with skin and coat health. Consider a brand of pet food with natural ingredients and Omega 3, or supplement your dog's diet with a daily vitamin supplement.
 
  

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