Pet Allergy & Dermatology in Bedford, TX

Pet Allergies

One of the most common skin issues cats and dogs can face is allergies. Pets have allergies, just like people, and their environment can make them worse. The majority of pets, unlike people, do not experience respiratory issues when their allergies are acting up. They develop rashes and inflamed skin instead, which can result in severe itching.

Allergic itching is most often caused by fleas, but it can also be triggered by other factors, including:

• Food ingredients
• Dust
• Mold
• Household chemicals

Pets may scratch excessively if left untreated, leading to other issues like fur loss and lacerations that may become infected. If you notice your pet incessantly scratching or sneezing, we recommend you bring them in for a dermatology exam. They may need treatment for allergies. There is no long-term remedy for allergies. To improve both your pet’s and your own quality of life, there are numerous methods for reducing symptoms.
