What Causes Pet Allergies?
A variety of factors, such as dust, mold, and dander can cause pet allergies. These allergens can cause your pet’s skin to become red and irritated or produce an itchy rash. In addition, some pets may even experience sneezing and coughing due to the reaction caused by airborne pollutants in the environment.
Some signs your pet may be suffering from allergies include excessive scratching, licking, or biting of the skin and fur, runny eyes or nose, ear infections, hair loss, and redness.

Unfortunately, there is no cure-all for pet allergies. However, our veterinary team can relieve your pet’s symptoms and advise you on steps to take at home to reduce exposure to allergens. With the support of our veterinary team, your pet will be back in good health in no time!
We'll work with you to develop a plan that helps narrow down the allergen in your home. For instance, you may need to switch out bedding, vacuum more frequently and/or use air filters.
