Hi there,
Did you know dogs can experience allergies just like humans?
Also, just like humans, just because your pup hasn't had allergies doesn't mean they won't develop as they age. Every new season it's important to watch for changes.
New Season: Watch for Allergy Symptoms
Every new season has new allergies and carriers. Summer is different than Spring, especially when you walk barefoot everywhere! (Like most pets do).
Look for signs like excessive itching, paw licking, watery eyes, sneezing, or skin redness. If your pup is scratching more than usual, it might not be fleas, allergens like pollen or yard stickers could be the culprit.
Here are four easy ways to give your furry friend some relief:
🐾 1. Wipe Their Paws & Coat After Walks
Pollen and allergens can cling to your dog's fur and paws. Use a damp towel to remove allergens after outdoor time, focusing on their paws, belly, and legs.
Our PawDry Pro pet towel is perfect for this.
🛁 2. Soothe & Moisturize Their Skin
Regular baths with a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo and our Moisturizing & Soothing Relief Cream can help calm itchy, irritated skin while keeping their coat healthy.
🌿 3. Wash Dog Beds & Blankets Frequently
Dogs spend 50% - 70% of their day sleeping. Pollen that collects on their fur and that drifts in from outside will gather in their favorite spots.
🛡️ 4. Protect Those Paws!
Imagine if we walked on our hands all day and then licked them clean! Our pups' paws are the #1 thing we overlook in the important role they play in their health. A little attention here goes a long way.
If you don't have time for anything else - wipe paws once a day and give them a look.
Any signs of sticking plants, or cracking, it's worth investing in a protective barrier like our Paw Balm. Easy to apply, soothes dry skin, and adds protection.
If all else fails, and your dog is really struggling with allergies, go talk to a vet. They have dog-specific remedies to help them through it.
