DID YOU KNOWâïž In dogs and cats, the primary organ affected by allergies is the skin, unlike in humans, where the respiratory system is most impacted. â
â
This means that when pets are exposed to allergens such as pollen, grass, trees, molds, dust mites, and dander, they often exhibit symptoms like itchy paws, ears, and rear ends. These symptoms occur because the immune system overreacts to these allergens, leading to an inflammatory response. â
