Spring brings sunshine, blossoms, and fresh air—but it also brings pollen, grass, and dust mites that can cause allergies in our dogs. If your pup is suddenly itching more than usual, scratching at their ears, or showing signs of irritation, they might be reacting to seasonal allergens.
Here’s how to spot the signs of spring allergies in dogs and support their skin and immune system naturally.
1. Common Signs of Spring Allergies in Dogs
Allergies in dogs often show up on the skin rather than through sneezing, like in humans. Keep an eye out for:
- Constant scratching or chewing
- Red, inflamed skin
- Hair loss or bald patches
- Frequent ear infections or head shaking
- Watery eyes and sneezing
- Licking paws or belly excessively
These symptoms may worsen after walks or time outside—a strong clue that seasonal allergens are the trigger.
2. Reduce Exposure to Allergens
Start by limiting your dog’s contact with common allergens like pollen and grass:
- Wipe their paws and coat with a damp cloth after walks
- Vacuum regularly to keep pollen off carpets and bedding
- Wash their bedding weekly in hot water
- Bathe your dog with a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo
- Walk them during low-pollen times (early morning or late evening)
These simple steps can make a big difference in managing daily discomfort.
3. Strengthen Skin with Omega-Rich Supplements
Healthy skin is your dog’s first defence against allergens. Pupps Skin & Coat Treats are packed with essential nutrients like salmon oil, biotin, and flaxseed to:
- Hydrate dry, flaky skin
- Promote a glossy, healthy coat
- Reduce shedding and irritation
- Improve skin barrier protection
Adding a skin supplement can help reduce allergy symptoms from the inside out.
4. Target Itching with Anti-Inflammatory Support
When itching is already a problem, targeted supplements can help calm the skin. Pupps Itch Relief Treats contain powerful ingredients such as:
- Alaskan salmon oil – rich in Omega-3s
- Colostrum – supports immune response
- Omega fatty acids – soothe skin and reduce inflammation
These natural ingredients help manage irritation and discomfort while supporting skin healing.
5. Monitor for Other Triggers
Sometimes, what looks like a seasonal allergy could be a food sensitivity or reaction to a household product. If your dog’s symptoms persist despite seasonal support, talk to your vet about allergy testing or elimination diets.
