Pollen Allergy in Dogs - Symptoms, Diagnosis and treatment

The only way to diagnose a dog as pollen allergy is to have an allergy test

Our cute friend can encounter allergies to many different substances in dogs and pollen is one of them. The pollen of all plants does not cause allergies in dogs. It is also important that the pollen of plants that cause pollen allergies in dogs is distributed. Because pollen dispersed by the wind is much more effective while pollen dispersed by insects is not so effective. Because pollen is dispersed in small quantities with insects, the amount of pollen dispersed by the wind is much higher, and as a result, these pollen are more likely to affect the dogs.

Species of pollen allergy in dogs

The pollen allergy indicator in dogs is almost identical to that of many other substances, but it is likely that allergy symptoms you see in your dog in spring will indicate pollen allergy. In dogs, pollen allergy is indicated;

• The dog rubbing his head to the left and right (this behavior is the scratching of the dog's head)
• Dog breeding, biting

If your dog has one or more of the above considerations, you should definitely consult your veterinarian.
