Avoid your dog’s triggers if you know what your dog is allergic to, it’s best to try to avoid those factors as much as possible. Regularly de-flea them, as well as other pets and your home. Avoid walking them when the pollen count is high. Avoid walking them in long grass, or rinse them off well afterwards. Anti-itch medication can be used to reduce itchiness, such as steroid tablets and spray, Lokivetmab injection, or Oclacitinib tablets. Most dogs with skin allergies benefit from a skin supplement containing essential fatty acids, a topical emollient shampoo, and daily antihistamines. Immunotherapy may be possible to desensitise them to their triggers if your dog has been allergy tested. Immunotherapy involves injecting your dog with a tiny amount of what they are allergic to, to get their body used to it. The exact drug your vet prescribes will depend on your dog’s symptoms, how long they need to be treated for, and your budget.
