Allergy Season

Are you sneezing and coughing as pollen fills the air?  Odds are, your little buddy is suffering too. 

Environmental allergies are very common in pets.  You may find your pet is itching and sneezing more so than normal.  There are a few things you can do to help your buddy.

I recommend wiping your pet’s fur with a wipe or damp cloth every time he or she returns from outside.  You also might consider increasing the number of baths during allergy season.  Both will help you to reduce the amount of pollen your furry friend brings into the house, which should reduce sneezing for both of you.
Just as with us humans, limit outdoor exposure whenever pollen counts are high.  Some animals are more sensitive to outdoor allergens than others, so this might be particularly helpful for them. 

In some cases, you may need to visit the vet.  Believe it or not, some allergy treatments are not expensive.  Your vet can help you find the right medicine to help your buddy.
Hang in there!  The pollen levels will eventually stabilize so we can all breathe a little easier.
