5 vet-approved ways you can help your dog during allergy season

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - As the seasons change, you might notice your dog experiencing some discomfort. Allergies aren't just a human problem. If your dog is scratching or licking their paws more than usual, they might be experiencing seasonal allergies. In fact, allergies are one of the more common reasons that pet owners visit their veterinarian. So, how can you support your furry friend during allergy season? Purina veterinarian Dr. Martha Cline shares five expert tips to help your dog.

1. Bathe them regularly

One of the simplest ways to help your dog with their allergies is to bathe them regularly. Routine bathing can remove dirt and pollen from your dog's fur and skin, and also cleans the skin, which eases allergies.

"Most healthy dogs don't need to be bathed more than once a month," said Dr. Cline. "That said, dogs with sensitive skin or allergies may need to be bathed more often. Talk to your vet about frequency and if there are specific shampoos that can help."

2. Wipe your pet down after a walk

Make sure to wipe down your dog after a walk or outside playtime to help manage their allergies. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth or fragrance-free, hypoallergenic pet wipes can remove pollen and other allergens that may have stuck to your pup's fur and skin.

And pay close attention to your dog's paws. The sensitive skin in this area can be prone to allergic reactions.

3. Consider nutrition and supplements

"What your dog eats can have an impact on the health of their skin," said Dr. Cline. "Make sure your dog is eating a complete and balanced diet that provides all the essential nutrients that support healthy skin and coat. And if your dog needs even more support, consider adding a supplement, like Skin Care from Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements, as a part of your overall approach."

Skin Care features omega 6 and omega 3 to help maintain the skin's natural protective barrier to support dogs with sensitive skin, including those with seasonal allergies; a blend of collagen, EPA and DHA to proactively support your dog's skin health; and Vitamin E and zinc to promote a strong immune system. This non-prescription supplement comes in a great-tasting soft chew and is available at Amazon, Chewy and vet clinics.

4. Don't skimp on flea control

Year-round flea control is important to your dog's overall health and can also alleviate skin allergies. "While flea bites aren't fun for any pup, some dogs may experience a severe allergic reaction to flea saliva called flea allergy dermatitis," said Dr. Cline.

Talk to your vet about which flea control treatments are suitable for your four-legged friend. They may recommend a flea collar, oral medication and/or topical medications to quickly kill any living fleas and prevent new ones from emerging.

5. Talk with your vet about allergy medication

"Depending on the severity of your canine's allergies, they may need an antihistamine or other allergy medication to help them feel less itchy," said Dr. Cline. Talk with your veterinarian to discuss allergy medication options so your dog can spend less time scratching and biting and more time playing.

Don't let allergies get your dog down. Using these five vet-approved tips, you can help your pup feel their best this spring and beyond.
