As the warmer weather sets in, many pets experience flare-ups of skin allergies, leading to discomfort and irritation. Successful management of these allergies requires a multi-modal approach, which may include supplements and probiotics to nourish the skin from the inside, medications like Cytopoint injections or Apoquel to control flare-ups, as well as topical conditioners to moisturise and protect the skin. Additionally, topical anti -inflammatory creams can help soothe inflammation and promote healing. If your pet is struggling with skin allergies, contact us today for personalised advice and treatment options to keep your furry friend comfortable this summer.
Thank you for reading our Summer Edition! We’re here to support you and your pets all season long, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to book an appointment. Wishing you and your furry companions a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
