Allergy Management
Watching our pets struggle with allergic reactions in the form of itching, redness, fur loss, or discomfort is hard. Our pets can’t tell us what is happening or how they feel. They often will show us through their actions and discomfort. Let us help be the guiding voice that helps uncover the cause of your pet’s allergies. We will then create a personalized plan that eases symptoms and supports your pet’s long-term health.
Why is my pet scratching, licking, or losing patches of fur?
When working to find the cause of your pet’s allergies, we take a whole-pet approach by examining your pet’s nutrition, environment, and lifestyle. Allergies can come from food, fleas, and environmental things like pollen, dust, grass, etc.
Why should I bring my pet in to treat allergies?
Our pets have a much higher pain tolerance than we do. Their repetitive behaviors of itching, licking, and scratching may signal that something is wrong and cause quite a disruption in their daily lives. When allergies are not managed, pets can develop hot spots, skin infections, and ear infections, or just feel miserable every day. Left untreated, this constant discomfort can affect their sleep, energy, and more.
What does allergy management look like at Hosanna Animal Hospital?
At Hosanna, we take a whole-pet approach. Instead of only calming the itch, we look for what’s causing it. Together, we’ll talk about your pet’s food, their daily routine, and their environment. From there, we can design a personalized plan that may include:
- Gentle holistic supports, such as supplements or acupuncture.
- Immediate relief to help your pet stop itching and feel better right away.
- Lifestyle tips like bathing, grooming, or simple changes at home to reduce triggers.
- Nutrition adjustments, like finding a diet that supports skin health and reduces flare-ups.
- Traditional medicine is used when needed to stop infections or provide strong relief in tough cases.
At Hosanna Animal Hospital, our goal is to find the root cause of allergies, manage them effectively and with care, and bring relief to your pet while giving your family confidence that your pet companion is no longer silently suffering.
