Seasonal allergies, not just in humans
Spring means the return of flowering trees, warm days, and our annoying seasonal allergies. Present from April to October, allergies are the misfortune of most people.
Did you know that this condition can also be present in your companions?
Is your pet constantly scratching, licking, or biting during this time of year? These actions may be telltale signs of seasonal allergic dermatitis. Environmental allergens that commonly affect your pet include pollen, ragweed, and dust mites.
Unlike the uncomfortable respiratory symptoms of humans, animals have skin conditions. The most commonly affected areas are the face, legs and stomach.
Here are several warning signs that may be present on your friend's skin:
● Red skin
● Alopecia (absence of hair)
● Gales
● Buttons
● Otitis
● Conjunctivitis
● Dark skin pigmentation
● Smell
When you need to groom animals with more sensitive skin, it is essential to use a very mild shampoo.
Here is a recommended product:
● Animeu Shampoo: This natural shampoo enriched with emu oil, colloidal oatmeal and calendula gently cleanses your pet's coat while protecting its delicate skin. With its unique formula, Animeu Soothing Shampoo is both a gentle and effective maintenance product, as well as a natural moisturizer that soothes itching.
If your pet has this type of condition, you should know that a visit to the veterinarian may be in order. Treatment may be prescribed if necessary to relieve the annoying symptoms.
Wishing you a wonderful and flourishing season with your furry friends.
