Its all good fun, playing in the long grass on a summers day or running through the flowers. Until your dog starts scratching.
This can often be caused by antigens, or irritations in the environment. This can include anything from pollen to grass, from dust mites to flea bites.
Your pet may be showing signs such as hair loss, skin infections, ear or eye discharge.
The sooner it is treated, the easier it will be. Something as simple as changing the route you walk on to avoid a certain type of grass can help. Even a quick rinse off in the bath or hose down after a walk can reduce the effects just by removing the irritation, and soothing the skin.
Please speak to our receptionist to book an appointment with the vet if you think your pet may have skin allergies.
