“Allergy supplements” may not be in your dog’s vocabulary. But these seriously delicious flavors are definitely in your dog’s dreams.
Sniffling, sneezing, and scratching. Seasonal dog allergies look awfully similar to our own, and (thankfully) you can treat them similarly, too—with dog-friendly supplements. These supplements come jam-packed with natural vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, all the elements you need to help soothe the symptoms of canine allergies. And you can simply give your pupper this supplement as a kibble topper or a standalone treat. Either way, your dog’s getting natural, effective ingredients wrapped in a tasty soft chew!
But, not all allergy-relieving supplements for dogs offer the same benefits. Some carry too many fillers and additives, others carry lackluster ingredients, and many just don’t excite your dog’s taste buds (which is kind of hard to do).
In this article, we’ll show you how certain dog supplements can help quell the symptoms of seasonal allergies, like dry, itchy skin, and how to find the right one for your pet. But first, let’s check out our allergy-soothing supplement, designed with your dog’s coat (and taste buds) in mind.
Our Skin & Coat Dog Supplement
Seasonal allergies can take quite a toll on your dog’s skin and coat. Changing seasons can dry out your dog’s skin, leaving them with an itchy patch that just begs for ’round-the-clock scratches. Now, their skin is inflamed, you’re frustrated, and your dog just keeps on scratching at every hour of the day.
Our Skin & Coat Dog Supplement helps give their glow a refresh. This supplement comes with skin-supporting ingredients, like biotin, coconut oil, antioxidants, and coral calcium, to soothe dermal dilemmas and reinforce your dog’s natural sheen. Just one chew a day can help calm the symptoms of seasonal allergies in your dog’s coat, quiet the routine scratches, and restore your dog’s soft, healthy skin.
Signs of Allergies in Dogs
Just like with you and me, allergies look different in all dogs. How your dog reacts to the fresh, new season may be different than others. So, it’s important to notice the symptoms of seasonal allergies in your own furry friend. If you think your dog is struggling with seasonal allergies, here are a few telltale signs.
Biting, Ithing Coat
After ruling out fleas and ticks, you might be surprised to hear that coat biting and itching are common signs of seasonal allergies. Many dogs gnaw on their paws, shake our loose hair, and dig their claws into the coat, scratching incessantly at one area. This is because seasonal allergies can create an overactive immune system.
When they scratch, claw, and bite, your dog is reacting to a foreign allergen. Their immune system is sending a ton of resources to fight it. But that reaction can lead to overactivity, resulting in inflammation and dermal issues. Hence, the constant biting, scratching, and itching.
Compulsive Licking
Another common reaction to allergies is incessant licking. Typically, your dog will choose a spot, usually their paws, and lick, lick, and lick. They may even forgo sleep to continue this slobbery endeavor. This is because their immune system notices a threat and tells their brain to lick, lick, and lick some more. But this strategy, like biting and itching, usually leads to unwanted side effects, like red, inflamed skin.
Dry, Red Skin
If you haven’t noticed the licking, itching, or biting, you might be surprised to find dry, red (sometimes raw) patches of skin under your dog’s coat. This usually stems from incessant grooming and scratching brought on by an overactive immune system triggered by foreign allergens. (It’s a mouthful, we know.) Many dog owners feel like pet detectives, trying to decipher the cause of their pup’s odd behavior. That’s why, when in doubt, always consult your vet if you think your dog has allergies and before adding supplements to their daily routine.
How to Combat Allergies in Dogs
Here are a few tips many dog owners employ when dealing with canine allergies.
Support Proper Nutrition
A standard canine diet typically consists of high-grade kibble, measured out in breakfast and dinner time scoops. While this might get your dog’s tail wagging, it surely has some holes in the nutrient department. Kibble doesn’t have key minerals and vitamins to support a healthy immune system, skin, and coat. But it sure does taste good (probably)!
Dog Supplements
That’s where skin and coat supplements come in. These supplements cover the gaps in your dog’s daily nutritional needs, giving them natural ingredients packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. If you’d like to add to your dog’s stack of supplements, check out our Immunity Supplement for Dogs. These delicious soft chews come with a host of immune-boosting ingredients, including three adaptogenic mushrooms.
Coat Maintenance
Another way to help quell your dog’s allergies is routine bathing. (Your dog probably just let out a frightful sigh.) Yes, routine baths can strip away allergens hiding in your dog’s coat and soothe nagging dermal issues.
Vet Guidance
Finally, you should do all of this under the guidance of a trained, licensed veterinarian. These pet-loving men and women are equipped to discern just what your individual pup needs. Meet some of the vets we trust!
