Pay attention to the signals that our animal sends us and that must never be taken lightly. It is always better to have an extra check-up at the vet rather than being reduced to the last second. With the onset of summer, the dog could in fact suffer from allergies

With the arrival of spring we are all happier and more carefree, but if the days get longer and the flowers bloom around us, the spring allergy that we had not missed will also come back to visit us. However, we are not the only ones to be affected because even our beloved dogs can suffer exactly as much as we do from seasonal diseases and at this time of the year the symptoms related to theallergy to pollen.
In dogs there are indeed many signs which can make us understand the presence of a certain allergy. In the case of pollen these are the following red flags:
- urticaria;
- persistent itching. The skin appears irritated and the animal tends to scratch continuously to relieve the discomfort;
- excessive licking of delicate and inflamed areas of the body;
- swelling and redness of the eyes;
- ocular discharge;
- hair loss;
- redness and inflammation of the ears which give off an unpleasant odor due to the current infection;
- wet eczema that presents with lesions that appear "wet" (hence the name);
- sneezing.
The animal comes into contact with pollen mainly by inhalation and can immediately show some of these symptoms, although a good part depends on the breed. In fact, there are breeds such as Labradors or Bulldogs, which are more prone than others to develop allergies.
If you notice one or more symptoms, it's a good idea to run to the vet to get a consultation and get your dog treated right away.
Attention also to other dangers such as the processionary moth, harmful to dogs and children, which returns to be talked about in spring as well as the forasacchi of the grasses that nestle between the fingertips of the dog, but not only.
