Spring Allergies in Dogs: Causes, Symptoms, and Natural Solutions

Spring Allergies in Dogs: Causes, Symptoms, and Natural Solutions

Spring is beautiful, but it can also bring seasonal allergies for dogs. At Garden State Pet Center, many pet owners visit us during this time looking for solutions for itchy skin, ear infections, and constant scratching.

Signs Your Dog May Have Allergies

Common allergy symptoms include:

• excessive scratching
• chewing paws
• ear infections
• red or irritated skin
• watery eyes
• hair loss

Allergies can be triggered by pollen, dust mites, mold, or certain foods.

Diet Plays a Huge Role

Many dogs with allergies benefit from switching to limited ingredient dog food or diets with novel proteins.

Common allergy-friendly proteins include:

• duck
• rabbit
• venison
• fish

These proteins are less commonly used in commercial pet food, which may reduce allergic reactions.

Natural Allergy Support for Dogs

There are several supplements that can help reduce inflammation and support the immune system.

Helpful allergy supplements include:

• omega-3 fish oil for dogs
• probiotics for dogs
• quercetin supplements
• coconut oil
• gut health supplements

A healthy gut microbiome can greatly reduce allergic responses.
