If your pet is suffering from allergies, it's never a good idea to ignore them. Pet allergies can have severe complications, so it's best to get treatment from a veterinarian right away. At Firestone Animal Hospital in Downey, CA, we make it our mission to help your pet live a long and healthy life. That's why we offer the testing and treatment options your pet needs to avoid potential triggers and reduce the severity of his or her allergic reaction.

Pet Allergies

Symptoms of Pet Allergies 

Allergies are an immune response in which your pet's body reacts to an allergen as if it is an invader. This can cause a variety of symptoms, which can be uncomfortable for your pet. These include:

  • Itchiness
  • Hives
  • Red skin
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Sneezing
  • Watery eyes

These symptoms are similar to symptoms humans experience due to allergic reactions. In pets, allergies can be so severe that they can trigger dangerous reactions, leading to trouble breathing. Therefore, it's important to get your pet help if you notice any symptoms of an allergic reaction.

How Our Veterinarian Can Help

Although there is no 100% cure for pet allergies, our veterinarian will be able to provide the best treatment plan to reduce symptoms of pet allergies. Our veterinarian will also determine if your pet is suffering from allergies or if another underlying issue is the cause. If your pet is suffering from allergies, our veterinarian will recommend:

  • Antihistamine medication to relieve pet allergy symptoms
  • Identifying the allergen, which can be food, certain medications, different grooming products, household cleaners, or even dust and pollen
  • Lifestyle changes for your pet, such as switching their diet, bathing products, or household cleaning products for your home

Your veterinarian will also prevent your pet's allergies from becoming severe and lowering your pet's quality of life.
