It is Winter time again, a time of the year when pets and humans are
very vulnerable to each other. As this is obviously the chilliest time
of the year, animals are much more likely to be cooped up inside the
house with us. All of the windows and doors are closed to the world and
the heat is blasting around the clock.

These are exactly the conditions which make our winter homes
playgrounds for certain allergens. Our pets are extremely vulnerable to
the dust in the carpet, the mold inside the walls of your old house and
other pets. But warm moist times of the year are high allergy times as
well.

Allergies are simply the most common conditions affecting cats
and according to Kansas State University, 15% of dogs suffer from
common allergies like pollen and house dust. An allergic reaction is
the work of an overactive immune system. It is when an animal responds
abnormally to a seemingly everyday substance such as grass or general
food ingredients.

Of the different kinds of allergies, contact allergies are the least common in cats and dogs. An Example of a contact allergen is a flea collar. Grass and various kinds of bedding such as wool are also examples. An Inhalant Allergy is the most common allergy for cats and is also prevalent in dogs. This particular kind of allergy is caused by the hypersensitivity of the immune system to environmental substances. A Flea Allergy is the single most common dog allergy but is also common cats. The normal dog or cat suffers only somewhat minor irritation in lieu of a flea bite with minimal itching.

A food allergy is also somehat common in pets. Cats often become allergic
to their most common protein such as tuna. Dogs can be allergic to
proteins like chicken and beef. When it comes to allergies, like most
things it’s a matter of controlling, not curing. Once an animal’s body
becomes hypersensitive to certain things, it is then eternally
vulnerable to those things.

Regarding treatment of allergies, the most common treatments are topical products like shampoos or antihistamines. There are also certain supplements that you can give to
your pets to help support the insides of their bodies, which to an extent determine the condition of the outside. For additional Information visit Dog Supplements from Life’s Abundance for help with your dog
