Does your pet suffer from uncontrollable itching? During spring, many humans and animals experience adverse effects. Some of them will only have symptoms during ragweed season, while others will be more affected by food allergies
It’s easy to recognize an animal suffering from allergies by his symptoms. He scratches, chews, licks himself or drags his butt on the ground. His skin shows redness, inflammation and scabs. You may notice abnormal hair loss as well as dandruff. All this may be accompanied by coughing, sneezing, runny eyes, or digestive problems such as diarrhea or vomiting.
While it’s easy to diagnose the problem, it’s more difficult to discover the cause. Potential allergens include certain foods as well as environmental factors such as insect bites, dust mites, pollen, etc.
If it’s a food allergy, did you know that our recipes with fish, lamb, duck, red meat and goat are without risk of traces of chicken? They are safe for your companions suffering from intolerance and/or allergy to this protein! In addition, among the Oven-Baked Tradition products, you will find a vegan recipe. This food, without animal protein, will allow you to carry out an elimination protocol while providing complete and balanced meals to your dog. This method consists of removing certain foods from your pet’s diet and gradually reintroducing them, in order to determine the allergen.
Finally, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian. He can help you determine the causes while prescribing medication for your companion. These are usually antihistamines or corticosteroids intended to relive itching and inflammation caused by allergies.
