Spring Allergies in Pets: What to Watch For

Spring means blooming flowers and sunny walks — but also itchy paws, watery eyes, and sneezing fits. Yup, pets get seasonal allergies too. Here's how to spot the signs and bring them relief.

🤧 1. Know the Symptoms

  • Excessive licking (especially paws)

  • Red, itchy skin or rashes

  • Watery eyes or frequent blinking

  • Sneezing or reverse sneezing

  • Ear shaking or head tilting

These can mimic normal behaviors — but if they happen often, it’s time to investigate.

🧼 2. Wipe Them Down After Walks

Pollen clings to fur and skin. Use a damp cloth to wipe their body and paws after being outside — especially after rolling in the grass.

🦴 3. Consider Diet Support

Omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and skin-supporting supplements may ease inflammation. But always consult your vet before making changes.

🧹 4. Spring Clean With Pet-Safe Products

Dust and cleaning sprays can irritate already-sensitive pets. Use natural cleaners and vacuum more frequently during allergy season.

💊 5. Talk to Your Vet

In tough cases, antihistamines or prescription meds may be needed. Never give human allergy meds without vet approval — some can be toxic.

🐾 Final tip:

A little itching might seem harmless, but seasonal allergies can wear your pet down over time. Stay ahead with simple routines and regular observation.
