ALLERGIES AND SKIN

An Allergy is a reaction through contact, ingestion or inhalation of an allergen, such as pollens, insects or foods. If your pet is repeatedly exposed to an allergen the resistence of their immune system will weaken, often resulting in poor health. Allergic reactions can be immediate (classical) or occur within a few hours or days (delayed); a delayed allergy is more commonly called "intolerance". Therefore, detection of allergies through traditional methods of trial and elimination can be a difficult and lengthy process. For e.g. you may feed a balanced diet but if your pet is still ill, it may be due to one of the components of the diet causing an allergic reaction, or something in the environment.

The most prevalent signs of an allergy affecting your pet are:-

skin irritations:- scratching, face rubbing, paw chewing, hot spots or rashes, persistent licking and over grooming.
