FOCUS ON ALLERGIES

There are two areas when it comes to the topic of allergies and companion animals. First, there are humans who are allergic to pet urine, saliva or dander. After more than a decade of research, a line of Purina Pro Plan cat food has been shown to reduce the allergens in cat hair and dander by an average of 47 percent starting in the third week of daily feeding.

Second is the issue of pets that are themselves allergic to something. This allergic reaction can come as a result of an item that the animal comes in contact with, that it eats or even inhales. Withs dogs and cats, the most common symptom associated with allergies is itching of the skin. In some cases, symptoms involve the respiratory system, with coughing, sneezing and/or wheezing. Sometimes, there may be runny discharge from the eyes or nose. In other cases, the allergic symptoms affect the digestive system resulting in vomiting and diarrhea.

Thanks to several manufacturers in the pet care industry, including SquarePet, Fidobiotics and InClover, pet parents now have access to a variety of foods, grooming and health products to help combat this problem.
