Animal Health Alert:
H5 bird flu suspected in two domestic cats
that tested Influenza A positive and consumed recalled raw milk.
Pet Safety and Raw Milk Pet Food Products
CDPH advises consumers to avoid raw milk “pet food topper” and “pet food kefir” products marketed to pet owners. They should neither eat this food themselves nor feed it to their pets. Cats, dogs, and other animals may become sick with bird flu after drinking raw milk. Cats on infected dairy farms in multiple states have died from bird flu, most likely from drinking raw milk from infected cows. CDPH encourages pet owners to avoid feeding their pets raw pet food products in general, including raw milk-based products. To further limit risk to pets, pet owners should also keep their pets away from sick or dead birds. Visit the LA County Veterinary Public Heath Program website.

Despite being a favorite food, dogs can be allergic to peanut butter.
As one of the most common food allergies in people, pet owners may wonder if their dog can be allergic to peanut butter, too.

Can dogs be allergic to peanut butter?
Peanut butter is a popular treat for dogs, often used to give medication or as a treat. However, some dogs may develop an allergic reaction to the proteins in peanuts, just like humans can. The reaction occurs when the dog’s immune system perceives the peanut protein as a threat, triggering an allergic response. Learn more about common food allergies in dogs.

Is my dog allergic to peanut butter?
If you're unsure whether your dog is allergic to peanut butter, give them a small amount and watch for any reactions. Always consult with your veterinarian if you suspect an allergy.

What are the symptoms of a peanut butter allergy in dogs?
The symptoms or signs of peanut butter allergies in dogs can range from mild to severe. Common signs include:
red, itchy skin
hives (looks like raised fur bumps)
excessive scratching or licking
vomiting or diarrhea
ear infections
swelling of the face or throat in severe cases
If your dog exhibits these signs after eating peanut butter, stop feeding it to your dog immediately and consult your veterinarian. If your dog experiences swelling of the face or throat, seek emergency veterinary care.

What percentage of dogs are allergic to peanut butter?
Peanut butter allergies are relatively rare in dogs, with less than 1% of dogs affected. However, it’s essential to introduce peanut butter cautiously, as repeated exposure can increase the risk of an allergic reaction. While peanut butter can be a tasty treat, it’s always best to monitor your dog for any signs of discomfort.

FUN FACT :
Did you know a Dog's sense of smell is stronger than ours??
Sensitivity: A dog's sense of smell is typically 100,000 to 1 million times more sensitive than a human's. The most sensitive breed, the bloodhound, can be up to 100 million times more sensitive.
Olfactory mucosa: Dogs have larger olfactory mucosa than humans.
Brain: Dogs have a larger part of their brain dedicated to odors.
Exhalation: Dogs exhale air from the sides of their nose, which creates a vortex that helps drive air and smells into the front of their nose.
