🌼 Is It Allergy Season for Dogs? Here's What You Need to Know
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies — and late summer into early fall is peak allergy time for many pups.
If your dog has been itching, scratching, or licking their paws more than usual, it might not just be the heat — it could be allergies.
🐾 Common Causes of Seasonal Allergies in Dogs:
-
Pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds
-
Dust mites and mold spores
-
Flea bites (even just one!)
-
Airborne irritants like smoke or pollution
🚨 Common Symptoms to Watch For:
-
Excessive scratching or chewing
-
Licking of paws or belly
-
Red, irritated skin
-
Frequent ear infections
-
Runny eyes or sneezing
Some breeds like Boston Terriers are especially sensitive and may show more intense reactions.
✅ What You Can Do:
-
Wipe your dog’s paws after walks to remove pollen
-
Bathe regularly with a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo
-
Vacuum often to reduce indoor allergens
-
Use flea prevention to avoid allergic reactions from bites
-
Talk to your vet about antihistamines or allergy testing
💡 Tip for Boston Terrier Owners:
Boston Terriers have short coats and sensitive skin, which can make them more vulnerable to environmental allergens. Keeping their living space clean and their skin moisturized can make a big difference!
Allergies can make your dog miserable, but with the right care, you could help them enjoy the season itch-free. 🐶❤️
