Does your pet have allergies?

Chalk Ward • June 17, 2018

Like humans, dogs and cats can have allergies that range from mild to severe.

Like humans, our pets can have allergies from many different sources. However, pet allergy symptoms can be completely different than ours. Pets can suffer from allergies such as food, pollens, insects, moulds or mites. This week we will look at what symptoms they may show as well as what can be done to help!

Does your pet suffer from any of these common symptoms? If yes it is recommended you make an appointment with your vet. If the cause of these symptoms is believed to be allergy driven our vets can take a simple blood sample which can help identify your pet’s allergies. With these test results, our vets can then provide you with solutions for managing your pet’s condition..... We are able to test for both indoor and outdoor environmental allergies and food.
