Allergies don’t end when springtime<\/a> does. The truth is, things keep growing, pollinating, and spreading their fine, itch-inducing dust all year long\u2014including August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time of year, warm weather and high pollen levels can lead to itchiness for pets all throughout Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why August pet allergy awareness is important for pet parents in our area. If you’ve noticed that your pup has been constantly scratching herself, or your cat’s been grooming more than usual, it’s time to take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what the team at Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital<\/a> wants you to know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Itchy Pets Are Unhappy Pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not unusual to see a dog scratching now and then. But if it\u2019s happening all the time\u2014or if your dog is chewing her paws, licking his belly, or losing patches of fur from the scratching\u2014it’s time to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For cats, the signs are a little bit different. Watch out for excessive grooming, scabs, and bald spots on your kitty. Cat skin irritation treatment can help, but knowing the root cause of the itching is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergies to all sorts of things can cause inflamed and sensitive skin: Grass. Pollen. Mold. Even certain types of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an itchy pet in Langhorne<\/a>, know that the Bucks County region is chock-full of seasonal allergies that affect pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a local veterinarian is helpful, because we local vets know the ins and outs of Bucks County allergens\u2014and how they affect animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
