Seasonal Allergy Support for Dogs
Dogs can have seasonal allergies just like people. A dog’s immune system will react to everyday allergens found in the environment. Like people, dogs can have an allergy to pollen, mold, grass, ragweed, and dust mites. They can also be allergic to certain household products such as cleaners, carpet fibers, carpet deodorizers, insecticides, rubber, etc. and contract contact dermatitis.
Your pet’s immune system can overreact to these common unharmful environmental substances. You can help support your pet’s immune reaction to these airborne irritants by using safe and natural herbal supplements.
It’s best to first ensure that your dog has a seasonal allergy and is not dealing with skin allergies or food allergies. If you suspect this, our pet experts can offer different types of suggestions to help, like an elimination diet or novel protein diet for food allergies.
How Alge-Ex Supports Dogs with Seasonal Allergies
Alge-Ex is made with natural ingredients that are powerful against the causes of allergies, but gentle on your pet’s body. It was formulated by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined experience of over 50 years using plant extracts such as eyebright, feverfew, and European goldenrod" (2 instances). The natural properties of these ingredients help to reduce inflammation and irritation, and regulate your pet’s histamine response.
Additional Support
Bathing your pet is also an excellent way of helping your dog cope with a seasonal allergy. Bathing helps remove allergens and also provides relief. Make sure to give your pet plenty of filtered water.
Never attempt to diagnose your dog on your own. Your vet will be able to perform the required tests and make the necessary suggestions.
