Treating Dogs For Their Allergies


Like when treating humans, in dogs, allergy symptom relief is often medicated using antihistamines, or steroids in more severe cases.  These medications can provide momentary relief from the symptoms of the allergy, but they will not address the core cause of the issue.  Meaning, if your dog is once again exposed to whatever he is allergic to, then allergies will flare-up again.
 
For food or flea allergies, it is best to prevent the allergy before any flare-ups occur.  It is important to have an all-year-round flea prevention routine so that these allergies do not happen.  However, if you suspect that your pet is allergic to a certain food type, identifying which food type it is can take some time and is very challenging.  The trial and error method on food your dog eats is normally used to eliminate which specific ingredient your dog is allergic to.
 
Have regular communication with your veterinarians London ON, and keep them involved in trying to identify what your dog is allergic to.

Feline fur care


 
You have a cat who is as beautiful as beautiful can be and you want to make sure you help her stay looking her best. What should you do to help her look after her fur?

Healthy fur starts with a healthy diet, so take the time to offer your little fur ball something tasty that will also foster coat health at mealtime. Help her keep herself well-groomed by making an effort to give her lots of attention and meet her needs accordingly. This will involve helping her stay clean by brushing her down from time to time and brushing her regularly. Check her over to see if any additional attention is necessary and make a point to bring up any concerns you have with her veterinarian to get some additional guidance regarding her care requirements. For additional information, please contact your local vet London, ON. Schedule an appointment today!
