How to Determine If Your Cat Is Allergic to Dogs

To know if your cat has dog allergies, you first have to identify if she is showing any symptoms of allergy at all. Some of the symptoms your cat might have are the following:

●       Over-scratching her skin (causing loss of fur and scars)

●       Skin infection from the scratches which allowed yeast and bacteria to grow (scales, bumps, papules, or crusts on the skin with slight red or pink coloration)

●       Sneezing, teary eyes, red plaques from eosinophilic granuloma complex, or pulling her hair out 

Your pet would benefit from proper testing by a veterinarian. The vet can administer blood or skin testing to determine the cause of your cat’s allergy. If your cat is allergic to dogs, the test with the veterinarian would be able to confirm it, and you can get, advice on the right treatments to solve the problem.
