5 Signs Your Dog Might Be Suffering from Seasonal Allergies

Spring and summer in Australia are beautiful, but they bring a wave of pollen, grasses, and weeds. Just like us, our dogs can suffer from seasonal environmental allergies. Here are 5 clear signs your pup might be reacting to the great outdoors:

1. Obsessive Paw Licking If your dog is constantly chewing or licking their paws after a walk, they are likely trying to soothe itchy skin caused by walking on allergens. 2. Red, Irritated Belly Dogs have less fur on their bellies, making this area highly susceptible to contact allergies from grass. 3. Constant Ear Scratching Allergies often cause inflammation in the ear canal, leading to redness, odor, and excessive scratching. 4. Rubbing Their Face Does your dog drag their face across the carpet? This is a classic sign of an itchy, allergic face. 5. Watery Eyes and Sneezing While less common than skin issues, some dogs do experience the classic human symptoms of watery eyes and sneezing.

How You Can Help: Wipe your dog’s paws and belly with a damp cloth after every walk. Regular grooming is also crucial. Brushing removes allergens trapped in their coat.
