The most common allergies for most pet animals are caused mainly in one form or another by inhaling and/or certain food habits. But usually there are hundred of reasons which are possibly the cause for our pet allergies. Allergies brought about by inhaling is caused from dust, wild plants, molds, grasses or some sort of fungi etc. Even homely perfumes and sprays may also make allergies to the pet animals kept in the home.

The second most common thing for pet allergies is of course their food habits. If they are given diets with highly enriched proteins and they are stuffed full with beef, chicken, fish etc., then it is likely that some sort of allergies will eventually affect them. The symptoms of food allergies is the same as allergies caused with inhalants so can be difficult to cure until the cause is isolated and removed.

If pet animals are affected with chronic ear infections, that can also be due to an allergy. So when pet animals affected with an ear problem they should have been thoroughly checked up by veterinarian to diagnose the actual reason. Contact allergy is another common type of pet allergy. Usually contact allergy is easily affected with street wandering dogs. If dogs are happened to play with grass, they will be definitely affected with some form of contact allergy. Cosmetic smell from using detergents, or beds, will also cause for contact allergy.

The main symptom of contact allergy is the appearance of red colored small inflammations along their underbelly areas. The most important source of allergies for some other pets like, rat, rabbit, mice etc is the saliva and urine. If the saliva and urine becomes dry on its body they will cause for some type of allergies to them. Pet animals’ skin allergies are also caused by so many other factors like hereditary and environmental situations. These types of allergies will make violent reactions to them. Some pet animals will have allergy by bacterium called “bacterial Allergy”. This allergy will cause for loss of hair and they will look like ringworm. Flea allergy is another common one in all pet animals. Due to flea bites, pet animal will face itch producing reactions.

Usually allergies that affect our dogs are due to totally wrong or incorrect food habits. Due to some of these food allergies, dogs will have some sort of itching and scratching on their entire body. These food allergies can also be difficult to isolate for our pets. “Flea bite allergies”, which are caused by the insects our pets come into contact with and “inhalant allergies” are just some of the many allergies that can harm our dogs.

Usually allergies that are dog specific are caused only by the wrong intake of food. Usually dogs that are affected by the food they eat are especially allergic to some particular agents used in the preparation of their food. These agents can cause some complications throughout the intestinal tracks in dogs and may require antibodies.

Even though food allergies are common to all animals, dogs will be complaining by the age from 5 months to 12 years or even older. Most of the dogs that will be commonly affected by food allergies seem to be between the age of 2 to 6 years. This could be due to changing diets during these years. On taking beef products, chicken, mutton pieces, fish, eggs, corn, wheat which are some of the edible items our dogs will be affected by and may even have complications through severe food allergies to these products.

The first symptoms of food allergy that usually appear are slight itching on the pets skin. Then gradually it will start to spread all over to the face, feet, ears, legs and the area around the hind quarters. There is an ear infection that is sometimes also possible. They can be treated completely by starting a long course of antibiotics only. Some times these symptoms that are caused can be seen in bowel movements of the dog. So in order to prevent pets from such infections, almost certainly we should give them only home made diets even though this is improbable in today’s climate.

If they are affected with food allergies, sometimes a minimum of 10 to 12 week’s treatment is needed for them as per a physician advice. We should avoid giving them commercial diets which available in the markets during this treatment. If any problems appear with the dogs, they should further be treated carefully under the diagnosis from the Vet of and about food allergies. Still a very suitable diet for dogs is protein and carbohydrates enriched foods. This type of food is called “limited antigen” diets. They should be given to the dogs in molecule sizes to ease digestion.

Because our pets are more like us than most of us know it is not surprising that they also get allergies just like we do. We keep them in our homes and make them part of our families, as they should be. The temperature inside the house may be controlled and whenever our pet is taken outside it may have to adjust to the different temperature as we do and this could cause an allergic reaction or even a cold.

Spoiling our pet might be the only way we think we should look after them but if we place them in an unhealthy environment where an allergy may be triggered is not healthy for them. Care about what may trigger an allergic reaction could save you and your pet many days of misery or even large Vet bills. Most pets are very hardy so it could be a good idea to check with your local club or veterinarian about local hazards that could possibly be of concern to your pet or at the very least cause them to show signs of an allergy that mau have been avoided.
