Recognizing Symptoms of Allergies
in Dogs and Cats

Pets can display several signs that may indicate allergies and/or skin problems. Look out for the following symptoms:

  • Excessive scratching or licking
  • Red, inflamed skin
  • Scabs or hot spots
  • Dandruff or flaky skin
  • Hair loss in certain areas
  • Ear infections, which may result from allergic reactions

Early detection can lead to more effective management of your pet's condition. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Millis Animal Hospital so we can assist you.

Common Allergies and Skin Disorders in Dogs and Cats

Allergies and skin issues are more prevalent in pets than you might realize. Frequent causes of these issues include:

  • Flea Allergy Dermatitis: An allergic reaction to flea bites, leading to intense itching and skin inflammation.
  • Food Allergies: Allergic reactions to specific proteins or grains in food, which leads to skin issues.
  • Environmental Allergens: Pollen, mold, and dust mites can lead to atopic dermatological conditions in pets, similar to human hay fever.
  • Parasites: Ear mites and mange mites are typical culprits behind ear infections and itchy, irritated skin.

Identifying what triggers your pet's allergies is a crucial step toward relief. Our hospital provides testing and treatment options to manage these triggers effectively.
