Conditions Treated

At New Hope Animal Hospital, we understand that allergies can have a significant impact on your dog's quality of life. That's why we offer a variety of treatment options to help manage and alleviate your pet's symptoms. Some of the common dog allergy conditions we treat include:

1. Environmental Allergies: Allergic reactions to pollen, dust mites, mold, and other environmental allergens can cause itching, scratching, and skin irritation in dogs.

2. Food Allergies: Sensitivities to certain ingredients in your dog's diet can trigger allergic reactions, leading to symptoms such as digestive upset, skin problems, and ear infections.

3. Flea Allergy Dermatitis: Some dogs are hypersensitive to flea saliva, leading to intense itching and discomfort when bitten by fleas.

4. Contact Allergies: Dogs can develop allergic reactions to various substances they come into contact with, including certain fabrics, cleaning products, and grooming supplies.

Comprehensive Allergy Treatment

When it comes to treating dog allergies, a thorough diagnosis is the first step toward effective management. Our skilled veterinarians will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and may recommend additional tests, such as skin or blood tests, to identify the specific allergens affecting your dog. Once the allergens are identified, we will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your pet's needs.

Treatment options for dog allergies may include:

• Medications: Antihistamines, corticosteroids, and other medications may be prescribed to alleviate your dog's symptoms and reduce inflammation.
• Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy): In cases of environmental allergies, allergy shots may be recommended to desensitize your dog's immune system to specific allergens over time.
• Dietary Changes: If your dog has food allergies, switching to a hypoallergenic diet or eliminating potential trigger ingredients from their food may help alleviate symptoms.
• Topical Therapies: Shampoos, sprays, and other topical treatments can help soothe your dog's skin and reduce itching and irritation.
