Learn How To Cure Your Pets Allergies

Your pet is more like you than you think and as unlikely as it may seem,dog allergies are just as common for your four legged friend as they are for you. Much like humans, dog allergy symptoms cover a wide spectrum from itchy skin, diarrhea, respiratory problems and ear infections.  Dog allergies can be gotten from a variety of sources, some of which are easily preventable while others may take a little extra care.

Food is a typical source of pitbull allergies. Unlike food for humans, the USDA doesn’t inspect or certify beef, lamb, fish and poultry when it is being used for animals. As such contaminates and illness causing bacteria can become part of the food and create allergic reactions for your pet.  Additionally most dog foods contain corn and wheat as fillers which have been know to carry mycotoxins, another source of dog allergies and human allergies.

Many dog foods also use meat by-products which are basically anything other than the muscle of an animal. This can include everything from organs (liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys), to hoofs, blood and even amounts of chicken feathers. These by-products are classified in the industry as being 4-D, defined as “Dead, Dying, Diseased or Disabled” and would never be considered for human consumption but are deemed ok, for some reason, for your pet.  Because of the very nature of these parts, it is common for these by-products to be tainted and can cause many health problems for your four legged buddy, including dog allergies.

Environmental factors play a large part for any allergy suffers and it’s not different for your dog. Dust mites, molds, pollen and even human dander can be causes of your dog’s allergies just the same as these items create allergic symptoms in the owner. These kinds of allergic sources infect the respiratory system making breathing difficult and can also affect their skin. Dogs that chew, lick and paw at their faces often do so as a way of dealing with the irritation.

Flea allergies are just as it says – allergies caused by fleas. This type of dog allergy is more easily recognized and remedied. Flea baths and flea collars can help get rid of the source (the fleas), but if the condition continues or gets worse, a trip to Vet may be required which can get expensive.

Contact allergies are similarly affected for people; sensitivity to certain types of items your pooch’s skin will have contact with. Those same flea collars that may get rid of the insect problem could have an adverse reaction for your dog because the plastic band’s composition is an irritant. Any plastic product like their food bowl or things like a wool bedding, certain plants or even grass can all be a source of dog allergies.
