When it comes to dogs and pollen, you definitely wouldn’t think of a “dynamic duo” or a “match made in heaven.” Quite far from it… Just like humans, dogs can suffer from a wide range of different allergies including pollen.
Spring, summer and autumn are the seasons when allergens such as pollen are most likely to affect your dog. Pollen allergy or hay fever in dogs is much less common than other types of dog allergies, such as flea and dust allergies but can be just as irritating.
There are a number of dog breeds which are more susceptible to pollen allergies. These include…
Pugs
German Shepherds
Bulldogs
Labradors
Golden Retrievers
Boxers
Dalmatians
Spaniels
It is important that you pay attention to your dog’s behaviour during pollen season. Keep an eye out for any of the below symptoms and talk to your vet if you are unsure about your dog’s health.
Red nose
Itchiness
Excessive rubbing/licking of affected areas
Hair loss
Inflamed patches of skin
Swollen/itchy paws
Sleepiness
