Pet Allergies and Dermatology
Allergies are one of the most prevalent skin problems that cats and dogs suffer from. Like humans, pets suffer from allergies triggered by environmental causes. However, unlike people, most pets do not experience respiratory difficulties when their allergies flare up. Instead, they develop rashes and inflamed skin, which can cause extreme itching. This is known as allergic dermatitis.
Fleas most often cause allergic itching, but other factors can also trigger it:
- Food ingredients
- Dust
- Mold
- Household chemicals
