Effective Allergy Relief For Dogs

By Henry Hamilton


It is very easy to identify a dog that is experiencing allergic reactions. It scoots or scratches across the floor and will be leaking obsessively. Like human beings, it sneezes and evidently itches. Some allergic reactions are as a result of seasonal allergens. Finding allergy relief for dogs does not have to include expensive visits to vets or complicated procedures. There are excellent home remedies that you can use.

The areas affected by allergies in most cases are the skin, eyes, paws and face. You will see redness that is made worse when the dog begins to scratch. Even the paws will turn red. Failure to respond effectively to the allergies will result in bacterial infections. There are dogs that are prone to allergic reactions because of their genetic composition. They include terriers, boxers, Dalmatians, shepherds, bulldogs, beagles, Irish setters and retrievers.

It is recommended that you see the family vet whenever you spot allergies. However, there are home remedies that will save you time and money without compromising the health of your dog. Vitamin E is as effective on dogs as it is on human skin. Rub your pet with vitamin E oil or bath it in water that has the vitamin added. There are pills prescribed by the vet depending on breed and age.

Sportsmen and pediatricians use flavorless electrolytes to replenish and rehydrate the body. These products are also as effective on dogs as they are on human beings. They provide great relief to the dog for a range of conditions. You should consult your vet to determine the right dosage and administration procedure.

Plain yogurt has anti-bacterial properties. It has been effective for intestinal infections and provides the right balance of bacteria. Beyond the antibiotic properties, it keeps yeast infections away. There are acidophilus pills that are effectively administered by wrapping them in bacon. Puppies are the biggest beneficiaries of this remedy. Gains from the yogurt will keep the puppy healthy as it builds own immunity.

Chamomile has natural healing properties that human beings have been tapping into for years. It treats anxiety, colic and gas. When applied on an irritated skin, it provides immediate relief. You can also place a tea bag on the eyes of an irritated dog besides spraying or using warm treated water to bath the pet.

Finely ground oatmeal has been in use for years by human beings because of its health benefits. You can apply it directly or opt to stir it with bathing water and allow your pet to soak for a while. The soaking relieves irritation instantly with the best results being soaking the pet in warm water. Oatmeal offers immune boost against other diseases and infections as well. It ensures that the pet does not scratch on every surface and furniture in your house.

Some of the allergic reactions are caused by pests like fleas. Borax powder is effective in dealing with such pests. It can be applied directly on the skin as well as used on the floor. It is inexpensive and does not have harmful side effects on humans. Citrus also repels fleas and makes the dog to smell fresh. Home remedies can be used anytime to keep dogs healthy without having to wait for your pet to go under the weather.
