Well it’s the last month of summer.  That means just a few more weeks of fun before school and preparing for cooler weather.  So, we here at Liberty Veterinary Hospital hope you made the most of the sunny warm days we have had so far this year.  I also hope your fur babies enjoyed it too.  No itchy red skin or obsessive grooming to be seen.  But if you have noticed this, it could be from allergies.  Yes, pets can have them too from fleas, food or the environment like pollen, mildew and dust.  And just like in humans, one day it just pops up and certain seasons can make it worse too.  Lucky for you, this month topic is allergies for pets, and if your pet is allergy free now, they may not always be.  So come back next week as I delve into the dreaded topic of fleas and ticks.  Yuck!  But for something so small, they can cause some severe allergies in dogs and cats.  And if you can’t wait, be sure to go to libertyvet.net for more information on allergies in pets.
