🐾 Let’s talk options when it comes to our itchy pups 🐶 🐾
If your dog is constantly scratching, licking their paws, or chewing at their skin, they might be dealing with allergies and trust us, they’re more common than you think! From seasonal triggers like pollen and grass to environmental irritants like dust or even certain foods, allergies can show up in all kinds of ways.
🐶 Common signs include:
✔️ Excessive licking or chewing
✔️ Red, irritated skin
✔️ Scratching at ears or body
✔️ Recurrent skin or ear infections
There are several treatment options available — and the good news is, we can help find the right one for your pup. Some of the most effective tools in our allergy-fighting kit include:
💊 Apoquel – A fast-acting oral medication that reduces itching and inflammation (without steroids)
💉 Cytopoint – An injection that provides long-lasting itch relief (great for seasonal flare-ups)
💊 Zenrelia – A once-daily allergy medication *new*
🥩 Prescription diets – Helpful if food sensitivities are contributing to the problem
✨ The best part? Relief often starts within hours to days — and your dog can get back to tail wags, couch naps, and zoomies instead of being stuck in the itch cycle.
