More on Allergies! Last time I mentioned feeding a quality food. Now let's move to Seasonal Allergies. Every pet is different and when their "season" is may be completely different from other pets in the house. It could be any month of the year based on that pets body and the allergens around them.
Symptoms include itching, scratching, chewing, and redness of the ears, abdomen or between the pads of the feet. This inflammation causes the protective layer of the skin to be abnormal and bacteria/yeast that is everywhere in the environment or on their body could get into that skin and cause infection.
We now know that HISTAMINE is not part of the allergic skin disease in dogs. Therefore, ANTI-HISTAMINES do not affect or stop the allergic reaction in pets. They only cause sedation.
Symptoms could be progressing for weeks or months before you realize your pet is having issues, and then the infections can get really bad almost over night. If you notice any signs of ITCHING, SCRATCHING, CHEWING etc., please have your pet examined by their doctor as the longer the disease progresses, the longer it will take to get your pet back to a normal healthy state.

This is a great list for all of us to have on hand. You could make a list of your plants and have it available if you’re pet ever gets into something and has to go to the vet. This way you’d be able to tell them exactly what your pet got into.

Below is a plant guide for pet owners. Pay special attention to the Toxic and Poisonous Plants listed as any dog can decide to chew on a piece of plant, especially if it falls on the ground. Treating a dog for plant poisoning is critical and must be caught early. Here's an article to help recognize signs of poisoning and what to do: https://www.dailypaws.com/dogs-puppies/health-care/dog-first-aid-emergency/dog-poisoning-symptoms

When your pet struggles with Fear, Anxiety and Stress, loud noises can bring on a supercharged expression of these struggles. In addition to some great medications your veterinarian can suggest, being aware of when potential noise episodes might occur can allow you to give the meds and find a small area/room where you can have plenty of ambient noise like an exhaust fan in a bathroom or radio with music playing to help drown out the offending noises.

Congrats to Clermont! This new vision of pet exam rooms that are just like being at home, makes a difference for your pets and drastically decreases the Fear, Anxiety and Stress your pet feels during their vet visit! Keep an eye open Aurora Colorado as we are only 3 months out from being able to offer this same level of care for your pets at PetVet365 Somerset!

If you have a pet that chews or licks its feet, rubs its face and ears on the floor more than you would expect, this medication could be a life changing treatment to manage Atopic Dermatitis (like Eczema in people) and Allergic Dermatitis. Ask your veterinarian about using Apoquel to give your pet the relief it needs from miserable allergy symptoms!

We received FDA approval for a new, chewable formulation of our leading medication specifically designed to target allergic itch in dogs. We are proud of our continued innovation in canine dermatology. Learn more! http://bitly.ws/Iit8

Another great reminder for protecting your family members this summer!

I am so excited to be bringing PetVet365 Somerset and Fear Free pet care to Denver/Aurora Colorado this fall. We are veterinary-led, committed to providing a work environment that focuses on the needs of the pet and client without sacrificing the needs and wellbeing of the teams who care for them.

I am seeking partnerships with doctors that don't want an exhaustive work schedule, that don't want an unsafe work environment and don't want a culture of do more with less.

If you want to have your own hospital and team to lead and grow for your benefit, or you want to work in a place that understands your needs and puts them first, please send me a message and let's work together to create the perfect work/life balance for your career!
