What Are Pet Allergies?

Pet allergies are often a reaction to proteins found in a pet's skin cells, urine, or saliva. When these immune system-detected allergens are inhaled or come into contact with the skin, they can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes in humans. Pets may also suffer, exhibiting signs like flaky skin or excessive scratching.

Common Symptoms in Pets

Pets with allergies may show signs of:

• Itchy and inflamed skin
• Sneezing and coughing
• Runny eyes
• Paw chewing
• Excessive licking or grooming

If you notice these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
