Dog skin allergy (also called allergic skin disease or atopic dermatitis) causes discomfort ranging from mild irritation to unbearable itching.

Unfortunately, it often develops in younger dogs, and then continues into a life-long chronic condition requiring dog skin allergy medicine.

This happens when dogs are in constant contact with the very allergens that cause the problem: Triggers are usually environmental and seasonal allergens – including dust mites, pollen, trees, flea bites, mould, grass and chemical cleaning products.

Moreover, the dog’s attempts to alleviate the itching often makes things worse. Licking and scratching can lead to severe rashes, sores, redness, flaky skin, loss of fur – and even infected wounds.
