🌿 Seasonal allergies don’t just affect people; pets can struggle with them too. Pollen, grass, mold, and dust can all trigger irritation in dogs and cats, especially during certain times of year. But unlike humans, pets usually show allergies through their skin instead of sneezing.

Common signs can include itchy skin, paw licking, ear irritation, excessive scratching, and inflamed skin.

Keeping paws clean after walks, washing bedding regularly, and staying up to date on flea prevention may help reduce irritation. If symptoms persist, your veterinarian can help create a plan to keep your pet comfortable year-round. 🐶

🤧 People often expect pet allergies to look the same as human allergies, but that’s usually not the case.

In dogs and cats, allergies typically show up on the skin rather than in the nose. Symptoms are more likely to look like paw licking, scratching, ear infections, or irritated skin than sneezing or congestion.

Recognizing the signs early can help pets get relief sooner. 🐾
