When you see your dog scratching, you may think that fleas are the reason, but allergies are actually one of the most common causes of excessive itching and scratching. To scratch your itch for knowledge, consult the Allergy Guide at DoggedHealth.com, your online dog health authority, and find out more about different types of allergies in dogs, including allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis (atopy), flea allergy dermatitis, and canine food hypersensitivity (food allergies). When you become a member at DoggedHealth.com, you can keep up with the latest information about dog allergies from veterinarians who help you understand how to help your dog.

 

When you join DoggedHealth.com, you get expert answers to your questions about your dog’s health, and you will be first in line for our weekly giveaways of our featured pet products while supplies last. Whether your dog is suffering from itching, coughing, vomiting, seizures, constipation, incontinence, hair loss or other health problems, DoggedHealth has the information you need from doctors of veterinary medicine (DVMs). Does your dog have housebreaking issues, separation anxiety, or other behavioral problems? DoggedHealth’s certified professional dog trainer (CPDT) can help. Our vets and trainers understand the health and behavior problems of mixed-breed dog and the specific issues different breeds experience and how to address them.

 

“Understanding the source of the allergy is the first step in treating your dog,” said Dr. Daniel Lauridia, DVM, who is Chief Veterinarian for DoggedHealth. “Typical allergens could be grasses, pollen, molds, animal dander and dust mites, or it could be a household deodorizer, a rubber chew toy, a floor cleaner or even the dog’s plastic dish. Our goal is to arm people with the knowledge to understand the source of allergy and make educated decisions about the health of their dogs. It doesn’t matter if you have a Yorkshire Terrier, a Shih Tzu mix, a Golden Retriever mix or a Maltese, you will find the answers you need.”

 

Among the topics our experts handle include dog diseases & symptoms, first aid, vet info, nutrition & exercise, bathing and hygiene, training and safety, puppy & senior care and choosing a dog. Also, DoggedHealth's Community is the place for sharing, learning and all sorts of dog discussions and blogs.
