Pet Allergies and Dermatology

cat with allergies

Allergy-induced skin conditions are some of the most common reasons for bringing a pet to Murrayville Veterinary Clinic. Do you think your pet is having an allergic reaction? Itching, scratching and hot spots are all good indications of allergies. Pet allergies are very common and treatable, but can fester and become serious health conditions if left untreated.

Types of Allergies in Dogs and Cats:

  • Flea allergy: The bite of a flea on your dog or cat causes an intense allergic reaction resulting in itchy skin.

  • Food allergy: An aspect of your pet's diet triggers reactions such as itchy skin, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal problems.

  • Skin allergy or Atopic Dermatitis: An allergen or foreign substance is inhaled or makes contact with the skin, causing extremely itchy skin. This can lead to skin infections or skin injuries from excessive scratching.

Dog and Cat Allergy Symptoms
