Spring allergies were rough on your pup. But summer allergies?
They're a whole different beast. π‘οΈ
Here's what changes when temperatures rise:
SPRING ALLERGIES (pollen, mold): β Seasonal (they come and go) β Worse on high-pollen days β Often controlled with medication + management
SUMMER ALLERGIES (heat, humidity, increased outdoor time): β Can get WORSE β Moisture = more yeast growth on skin β More outdoor exposure = more allergen exposure β Can trigger bacterial skin infections on top of allergies
The good news? If we start preparing NOW, we can prevent summer from becoming a scratching nightmare.
Here's what we recommend:
β A skin check during a wellness exam (catch early issues)
β Discuss allergy management options (meds, shampoos, supplements)
β Plan for regular nail trims (scratching can cause secondary infections)
β Consider paw soaks or regular baths to remove allergens. Summer allergies are real, but they're manageable.
