Fido is More Sensitive Than You Think

Do you think that Fido has allergies? Allergies are common in animals and there's a good chance that your dog has one. The key to controlling this condition is taking note of things to which your furry friend is sensitive. Some common allergies include:

• Plants, especially ones with oily leaves, that your pet brushes against
• Dust
• Newsprint
• Cleansers and bleaches
• Carpet deodorizers
• Wool
• Topical medications

If your pet is diagnosed with an allergy, your vet will likely prescribe a dog allergy relief medication that will help keep Fido's condition under control. It is also helpful, however, to get rid of the problem—get rid of or keep that pup away from things to which he is allergic.
