If your dog is showing signs of a possible allergy, it’s important to seek advice from a vet as soon as possible. Signs your dog may have an allergy include itchy, sore or broken skin, their ears may look red, sore or have black or yellow discharge, fur loss in patches over their body, red or sore skin between their toes, swollen skin, especially around the muzzle and/or eyes, hives, breathing difficulties, vomiting and/or diarrhoea, weight loss, collapse. The above signs may not be associated with an allergy, and instead might be related to a different disease process. It’s always important to seek veterinary attention if your dog is showing any signs of being unwell. Many things can cause allergies in dogs, these can range from environmental allergens such as pollen to flea saliva, and some dogs might even suffer allergic reactions to insect stings and certain household products.
