Signs of allergies in pets
Itchy pets will often scratch, itch, rub on the carpet, scoot their bottoms or lick and chew their paws. Their skin may be red and inflamed or have a dry, flaky or patchy appearance. Itchy or smelly ears can be painful and recurrent ear infections are often a result of an underlying allergy. Just like people, some pets suffer from allergies and these can be triggered by environmental factors (grasses, dust or pollen), food sensitivities or fleas.
