Pet Allergies

Allergies can cause uncomfortable symptoms in your pet, such as itching or watery eyes, and prevent him or her from being active. At Bay Road Animal Hospital in Sarasota, FL, we provide various treatments to alleviate any discomfort and improve your cat or dog’s overall health. Before scheduling your appointment, we invite you to keep reading to learn about some causes of pet allergies.

Pet Allergies

Causes of Pet Allergies

Pet allergies may be caused by a variety of factors, such as food, dander, pollen, and dust. As a result, your pet may experience a runny nose, coughing, or even shortness of breath. If your pet is exhibiting ay of these symptoms, we recommend consulting with our veterinarians about treatment.

Pet Allergy Testing

When you visit us, our vets will physically examine your pet. Not only that, but we will also test his or her skin to check for irritation or inflammation that may be due to allergies. We’ll also perform bloodwork, which can indicate any internal parasites.

Treatment

Our vets will prescribe medication, such as corticosteroids or antihistamines, to help you pet feel better. These medications should help ease your pet’s symptoms and improve its health.

Preventing Allergies in Pets

If certain foods might be causing allergies in your cat or dog, it is important to stop serving those. However, if they are allergic to dander or dust, we recommend vacuuming around the house regular to reduce symptoms. Along with that, it’s essential to visit our veterinarians annually for a wellness exam. If your cat or dog is older, you may need to visit us twice a year.
