Dog Allergy Simptoms
What are the symptoms of allergies in dogs?
Allergies in dogs can have signs and symptoms that sometimes seem common or can be attributed to something else. The dog's itch and scratch are high on the list, with odor, ear infections, skin infections, surface bumps, and scooting to name a few.
Dogs with allergies are itchy. They thrive because histamine is released when your immune system attacks the offending allergen. The areas of skin that most often sting are the ears, eyes, feet, even between the toes, arms, groin and around the anus. This itch causes the feet to bite, shaking the head, rubbing the face, and scooting from the bottom. Some dogs also bite or scratch their bellies. About 60% of those who pull their hair (barbering) and have bald spots (alopecia) have itchy skin allergies to food.
Because allergic dogs scratch, they damage your skin (dermatitis). The yeast grows rapidly on damaged skin, causing more itching (Malassezia dermatitis). Yeasty infections are stinky, and that is why many allergic dogs have itchy skin itchy skin infections. Similar events cause ear infections: ears itch, scratches of your dog, yeast multiplies and ears sting even more. Eventually the bacteria multiply inside the ear.

Max Tip: Although allergy mediums are available, we recommend first testing a natural remedy like Yucca Intensive on your dog, or an Omega 3 fatty acid
Ear itch and infections
Ear infections in dogs (otitis externa) may be more common than skin infections because the ear is often the first part of the body of an allergic dog to develop itching. Half of dogs with allergies have ear infections as their only obvious problem. Over time, these infections can progress to chronic inflammation of the ear and deafness.
Some allergic dogs sting more than ever when they get home from the groomer. This happens if the groomer uses highly perfumed soaps and conditioners. Some groomers clip the hair so short, especially along the bottom, that the clippers more irritate the skin and itching. If your dog has allergies, he or she can come home to the groomer and rub him or herself on the floor, carDog and sofa.
Dog Skin Infections Caused by Allergies
If your dog or is scratched frequently, the bacteria can enter the skin breaks and start multiplying. Some of these bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Pseudomonas, cause serious infections so your dog needs antibiotics to recover. Antibiotics eliminate the infection of the skin but do not eliminate the underlying problem, which is allergy. Without addressing the tendency to be allergic, cycles of reoccurring skin and ear infections are likely.
Many dogs with allergies glide on their feet (scooting) because the rectal area stings. Scooting looks funny but aggravates the two anal loed sacs on each side of the rectum and abscess of the anal sac is produced.
Dog Allergies and Digestive Problems
Dogs with food allergies can burp and vomit, gas, have diarrhea and lose weight. Some do not have diarrhea, but they have frequent stools. Food allergies are the third most common cause of skin disease after allergies to fleas and atopy.
Proteins cause most food allergies. It is rare for dogs to be allergic to carbohydrates or fats. Taking into account all allergies to dog food, two-thirds are caused by beef, dairy products and wheat. Dogs are also frequently allergic to soy, chicken, eggs, and corn. For s, 90% of food allergies are caused by beef, dairy products, and fish. S are also commonly allergic to lamb, wheat, chicken and corn.
For dogs, the most common sign of food allergy is itching and scratching. Other signs of food allergies include head and neck itching, miliar dermatitis, eosinophilic granulomas, swollen lymph nodes, urticaria, and conjunctivitis.
How are dogs diagnosed with allergies?
Laboratory tests can help diagnose allergies. Some tests of allergy look at the serum, the part of the blood that has white blood cells and liquids, but not the red blood cells. If the serum shows high levels of IgE (immunoglobulin E), it suggests that your dog has allergies or has a parasite infection.
