Text/Baohuada POSTA, the guardian of pet health

I believe that most dog owners have had the experience of worrying about dog allergies! Dogs always have itchy skin, and their chins, ears, and body arms are often scratched and red, and even the soles of their feet are often licked and chewed. Bites can lead to fungal infections, which may all be symptoms of allergies.

If a dog frequently itches its body and arms, it may be an allergic reaction, so don’t ignore it

Skin diseases are common diseases, but due to neglect by pet owners, they often go to the doctor only when the condition worsens, the skin becomes red, swollen and inflamed, and the hair falls off. Dean Chen Zhenhuan said that if the dog has allergies, it is recommended to undergo allergen testing so that the owner can avoid the dog from being frequently exposed to allergens and causing the dog to suffer from allergies again and again.

Why do we need allergen testing? Dean Chen Zhenhuan then cited clinical cases:

Case 1, taking food allergy as an example. After an allergen test, a dog was found to be allergic to all meat and seafood. Most of the commercially available feeds are based on chicken, beef or six kinds of fish. Therefore, when choosing feed, you should avoid these ingredients and choose special hydrolyzed protein hypoallergenic feed.

Case 2, taking environmental allergies as an example, another dog is severely allergic to dust mites, so it is very important to keep the home environment clean. Maintain indoor air circulation, change sleeping mats frequently, and pay special attention to environmental humidity to reduce the environmental impact. Humidity, using a dehumidifier is more effective than air conditioning!

Therefore, if your dog has recurring skin diseases, it is recommended to consider an allergen test. This can clearly identify the type of allergy your dog is allergic to, and avoid contact with allergens in a targeted manner so that the skin disease can be controlled and improved. Owners, Dogs no longer have to suffer from allergies.
