Dog Seasonal Allergies Home Remedies
We're all
familiar with the symptoms of seasonal allergies: runny eyes, itchy skin, sneezing,
etc. But did you know that dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies too? In
fact, they may experience similar symptoms as humans (and cats) do when they
get a cold or the flu. And while there are many different types of dog health
issues that can cause itching and inflammation in your pup's skin and
respiratory tract, one of the most common is seasonal allergies.
I've
learned so many helpful home remedies for both me and my dogs over the years.
I've learned so many helpful home remedies
for both me and my dogs over the years. While I'm happy to share, I feel that
it's important to start with a disclaimer: Pet allergies can be dangerous, even
fatal. If you or your pet has a serious allergy condition (as opposed to just
seasonal allergies), please consult your veterinarian before following any
advice in this article.
I've had my dogs for about ten years
now—they're both rescue pups—and we've all been allergic to everything from
pollen and mold spores to dust mites, but nothing has made us sneeze quite as
much as the springtime bark of other dogs! During the first warm months of each
year, I find myself spending more time than usual trying out new ways of
keeping our symptoms under control.
Oatmeal
is one of the best things you can do for your dog when he's itching from
allergies.
Oatmeal is one of the best things you can do
for your dog when he's itching from allergies. Oatmeal is a great source of
fiber and has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe your dog's
skin. It can also double as a shampoo, or added to your dog's food. If you want
to give it a try, simply add a few tablespoons of oatmeal to hot water and let
it soak for about 15 minutes before rinsing off with cold water. The powder
will get rid of any dirt on their fur as well as calm down their skin!
In addition, oatmeal contains several
vitamins and minerals that are important for healthy skin and fur, including
vitamin E and zinc. The vitamin E in oatmeal helps fight free radicals that
cause damage to skin cells and prevents dryness that can make the itchiness
worse by causing more scratching. Zinc is important for cell growth and repair
in your dog's body—it also helps reduce inflammation in the skin so itchy spots
don't feel as bad.
The best thing about oatmeal is that it's
cheap and easy to find. You can buy a bag of instant oatmeal for about $3 at
most grocery stores, so it won't take much out of your budget. Some people also
add honey or apple cider vinegar when they make their dog's hot water bath to
help soothe the skin even more.
Apple
Cider Vinegar is a great remedy for many dog health issues, including seasonal
allergies.
Apple Cider Vinegar is a great remedy for
many dog health issues, including seasonal allergies. Apple cider vinegar can
help with dog allergies by reducing the inflammation in your pet's nose and
throat.
When dogs have seasonal allergies, their
immune system overreacts to certain things that trigger an allergic response.
In order to protect itself, the immune system releases histamine proteins into
the blood stream, causing an inflammatory response around the body. This can
lead to a number of symptoms that your dog may experience during seasonal
allergies such as runny nose and eyes, sneezing and wheezing, coughing or
shortness of breath.
Apple cider vinegar is made from fermented
apples and contains high levels of acetic acid which helps break down mucus
build up in your dog's nasal passages so it can breathe easier when he's
experiencing seasonal allergies. The acetic acid also helps reduce swelling in
your dog's throat which can make him sound congested when he coughs or wheezes
during his allergy attack.
In addition to helping your dog breath more
easily during seasonal allergies, apple cider vinegar will also help soothe
inflamed tissue in his nose and throat because it has antibacterial properties
that kill off any harmful bacteria that may be causing an infection inside his
nose or throat.
Aloe
Vera Gel makes a soothing coat conditioner that relieves itchy skin.
Aloe Vera Gel makes a soothing coat
conditioner that relieves itchy skin.
Aloe vera gel is made from the pulp of the
aloe plant. It has been used for thousands of years to treat various ailments,
including skin problems. Aloe vera gel has been proven to be effective in
reducing inflammation and itching in dogs with atopic dermatitis. The most
common form of atopic dermatitis is allergic dermatitis, which can cause the
dog's skin to become inflamed and itchy.
When used as a coat conditioner, aloe vera
gel will keep your dog's coat soft and shiny without leaving residue behind
after brushing or shampooing your dog. This can be especially beneficial if you
have a dog who has issues with allergies or sensitivity to chemicals in
shampoos or other grooming products.
In addition to its soothing properties for
dogs with allergies or sensitive skin, aloe vera gel also helps calm an
overactive immune system by increasing lymphatic drainage throughout the body.
This helps remove toxins from their system faster than usual so they don't
build up over time like they do when you're sick (like how we get congested
when we have a cold).
Fish
oil helps to relieve seasonal allergy symptoms in dogs and cats by improving
the fatty acid balance in their skin.
Fish oil helps to relieve seasonal allergy
symptoms in dogs and cats by improving the fatty acid balance in their skin.
Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, and these are known to be great for
healthy skin. The omega-3 fatty acids also help to reduce inflammation.
Seasonal allergies are a common problem for
many people. They are also a problem for dogs and cats, as well as humans.
Seasonal allergies can cause itching and scratching, which can lead to
infection if not treated quickly. When you give your pet fish oil supplements,
the omega-3 fatty acids will help alleviate the symptoms of seasonal allergies.
Fish Oil
Benefits for Pets with Seasonal Allergies
Fish oil is beneficial for pets with seasonal
allergies because it improves their fatty acid balance in their skins, which
reduces inflammation and itching on their bodies. The omega-3 fatty acids also
help reduce inflammation in both dogs and cats, which helps them feel better
when they suffer from seasonal allergies.
With
a few simple ingredients you can make most dog seasonal allergy treatments
yourself.
Allergies are a common problem for many dogs,
especially during the spring and fall. If your dog has been diagnosed with this
condition, you'll need to find out what allergies are causing it and then find
ways to treat them. While there are many different medications available, they
aren't always necessary. You can try making your own homemade remedies that
will help relieve your dog's symptoms without having to resort to drugs.
One of the easiest ways to treat canine
seasonal allergies is with food. Many dogs have learned that if they eat
certain foods like chicken or salmon, they'll get relief from their symptoms.
Dogs who suffer from seasonal allergies may benefit from adding these foods
into their diet on a regular basis.
There are also some natural remedies that can
help ease your dog's symptoms when suffering from seasonal allergies. It's
important to note that these remedies won't work for all dogs but they might be
worth trying if nothing else has worked for your pet before now! One such
remedy involves mixing two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into one cup of
water before adding it into the bath water for washing your pet down after
playtime outside in order to help soothe their skin and eliminate any allergens
that may be on their fur. Another remedy involves mixing two teaspoons of raw
honey with one tablespoon of pureed pumpkin and feeding it to your dog once
every day for about a week in order to relieve some of the symptoms associated
with seasonal allergies.
Conclusion
I hope these tips will help you find relief
for your dog and save some money in the process. My favorite part about all of
them is that they are natural remedies, so there are no side effects. If you
