Allergies

The spring and fall tend to bring on a higher incidence of clinical signs if your pet is allergic. 

Animals with allergies may be more sensitive to vaccinations so let your veterinarian know about allergies.

Animals with allergies will have a higher incidence of problems with the anal glands, ears, eyes, and skin.  Discuss this with your veterinarian at the next visit.

Food allergies can cause chewing of the paws (usually all 4 paws).

Foods most frequently associated with allergies include: 

Dogs:  Beef > Dairy Products > Corn & Wheat Products

Cats:  Beef > Dairy Products > Corn & Wheat Products > Fish 

Remember, your pet can be allergic to anything and may suffer from more than one allergin.  Monitor your pet and keep a diary of when, where, how long, time of day because this information can help to narrow the allergins
