If your dog is suffering and you think they may have hay fever or other allergies, book an appointment with your vet. Constant scratching results in skin damage, which can make your dog more prone to itchy bacterial and yeast infections. Although there is no cure, you can manage your dog’s hay fever with topical treatment and medications from your vet. Treatments can include topical treatments such as medicated shampoos, skin sprays and creams, antihistamines, although these are not always effective in dogs and may cause your dog to become drowsy, medication to help reduce skin inflammation and relieve itching, such as steroids. If you think your dog is suffering with hay fever, contact your vet for advice on treatment.
