Whilst we all enjoy this beautiful spring weather that we are having, it is a timely reminder that allergy season will soon be upon us.
This is Abbie who has struggled her whole life with allergies. her devoted mum has spent endless amounts of money on vet visits and medications in an attempt to help her itchy skin.
When we first saw Abbie at her home she was miserable. Her skin was so inflamed and sore, she had lost a lot of hair and her skin had changed in colour and thickness as a consequence of chronic scratching. Abbie wouldn’t even get off her bed on the couch to greet us.
Now Abbie is a new dog like a puppy again. Her mum has taken on board all of the advice given and even more importantly now has a full understanding of allergies and how to manage the flare ups with Abbie.
A huge advantage of home visits is the extra time that can be given to complex cases like Abbie’s. Time that is crucial to enable owners to gain an understanding of what is happening to their dog and how they can intervene before the condition gets out of control.
Abbie and her mum have been star pupils and now enter into spring without dreading the allergy season. Allergies do not go away but they can be very well managed.
A big shout out to Steph at Kleener K-9s for her part in bathing Abbie with so much love and care during her treatment. At her worst Steph was bathing Abbie daily. Abbie, her mum and I cannot recommend Steph enough
