Contact Allergies In Pet Dogs

 

Contact allergies are the allergy type that is least common.  This allergy will happen if your dog comes into contact directly with allergens like grasses, lawn pesticides, flea collar pyrethrins, and materials (synthetics or woo) used in bedding or carpets.  Contact allergies could happen whatever age your pet is and could be against practically anything.

If your pet has allergies to any of the aforementioned substances, he will develop itching and irritation at the area where contact was made, typically his belly and feet.  Getting rid of the allergen after identification is often the solution.

Take caution, though, as allergy symptoms could be mistaken for other conditions or happen together with them.  And so, avoid diagnosing your pet yourself.  Seek veterinary assistance.  Prepare your pet for full diagnostic examinations so that the cause of the skin issues and itching can be identified.  If your vet concludes that it is an allergy, the entire family has to follow the instructions to the letter so that your pet’s discomfort will be successfully relieved.

Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your pet clinic Carmel Valley

Flea and Tick Infestation in Pets

 


Flea and tick infestation in pets is a very alarming situation for pet owners. Fleas and ticks are blood-sucking parasites that can be very harmful to pet animals. As these parasites feed on blood, an infestation can lead to anemia and worse, death. In minor instances, fleas and ticks can only cause skin irritations. However, for some pets, an allergic reaction may occur from one or two flea bites. Signs of flea allergy include persistent scratching, hair loss, skin wounds, and rashes. Fleas and ticks are disease carriers as well. Pets owners must protect their pets by putting an end to these parasites. There are various products available specially formulated to fight fleas and ticks and treat flea allergy. It is always best to consult a veterinary clinic Carmel Valley to determine which product is the most suitable, as some products may contain irritants that are harmful to pets.
