Is your pet constantly scratching, licking, or uncomfortable?
There is a chance allergies might be to blame. Our team at easyvet Rosenberg knows how frustrating and uncomfortable allergies can be—for both pets and their owners. We take a compassionate approach to diagnosing and treating allergies in cats and dogs with a focus on helping your pet find allergy relief.
Recognizing Allergy Symptoms in Your Pet
Allergies in pets often appear in the form of skin irritation. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent Scratching or Chewing
- Red, Inflamed, or Scabby Skin
- Ear Infections or Head Shaking
- Excessive Licking, Especially of the Paws
- Hair Loss or Thinning Coat
- Respiratory Distress
- Gastrointestinal Issues like Vomiting or Diarrhea
If your pet is displaying any of these signs, it’s time for a closer look. At easyvet Rosenberg, we’re here to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment options.
We have allergy testing and treatment options for cats and dogs.
Managing allergies starts with understanding whether or not your pet even has an allergy. Our veterinary team can perform in-house tests to rule out other health conditions that mimic allergy symptoms. This may include skin impressions or a skin or ear cytology. For food allergies, we usually recommend an elimination diet to identify specific food allergen triggers.
Once your pet has been diagnosed with an allergy, we will start a treatment plan that fits your pet’s symptoms. Treatment options may include:
- Immunotherapy injections to gradually desensitize your pet to allergens.
- Prescription medications to relieve itching and inflammation.
- Medicated shampoos and topical treatments for skin support.
- Dietary changes for food sensitivities.
Our goal is to improve your pet’s quality of life with a balanced, practical treatment plan that offers long-term results.
