Helping Your Pet Manage Allergies
Allergies can be frustrating for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s caused by seasonal changes, food sensitivities, or environmental factors, allergic reactions in cats and dogs can lead to itching, discomfort, and skin issues. At Eastwood Animal Hospital, we specialize in identifying and treating allergies in pets, helping them feel better and live more comfortably.
Common Signs of Allergies in Pets
Allergies in cats and dogs often show up through persistent itching or skin problems. These symptoms are usually caused by an overreaction of the immune system to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. If you notice any of the following, your pet may be suffering from an allergy:
- Itchy or irritated skin
- Red or inflamed skin
- Dry, flaky patches
- Hair loss around the paws, belly, eyes, or ears
- Open sores or scabs, especially from licking or chewing
- Unpleasant odor from ears or skin
- Runny eyes or nose
If your pet is showing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment with our team for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
How We Treat Cat and Dog Allergies
At Eastwood Animal Hospital, we use a comprehensive approach to allergy treatment. We start by identifying the specific allergens that are affecting your pet, and then create a customized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs.
Our approach includes:
- Allergy Testing: We use modern diagnostic tools to identify the allergens causing your pet’s discomfort, whether they are environmental, food-based, or seasonal.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on the results, we develop a tailored plan which could include medications, diet changes, or even allergy injections to help manage your pet’s symptoms.
- Ongoing Support and Education: We want you to be able to manage your pet’s allergies at home. We provide guidance on how to reduce exposure to allergens and improve your pet’s overall health.
- Follow-up Visits: Allergies can change over time, so we offer ongoing care to monitor your pet’s progress and adjust treatments as needed.
