Spring Allergies in Dogs: Symptoms and Relief Strategies
April 17, 2025
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies. As spring arrives, blooming flowers and warmer weather bring pollen and other allergens. These can cause discomfort for your furry friend.
Common Symptoms of Spring Allergies in Dogs
- Excessive scratching or licking
- Watery eyes or sneezing
- Ear infections
- Red, inflamed skin or hot spots
Allergy Relief for Your Pup
- Regular grooming: Frequent baths help remove allergens from your dog’s coat, reducing irritation.
- Wipe down after walks: After outdoor playtime, use a damp cloth to clean paws and fur, which helps remove pollen.
- Air purifiers: These help reduce allergens in your home and improve air quality.
- Veterinary care: Consult your vet for allergy medications or treatments if symptoms persist.
At Dogtopia of South Elgin, we maintain a clean, safe environment to help minimize your pup’s allergy exposure. We’ve included UV filters in our HVAC system to reduce airborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. This improves air quality, which is greatly beneficial for dogs with allergies.
