Allergies

Allergies are one of the most common issues facing our pets in East Tennessee. There are a wide variety of allergens out there, but the most common categories are flea bite allergies, food allergies, and environmental allergies (atopy).

Fleas and flea bite allergies are very common. Fleas can come from a variety of sources including wildlife, stray/neighboring animals, or even within the household. The good news is that flea bite allergies can be prevented by consistently using flea preventions. Our doctors and staff can discuss the affordable and effective flea preventions available to keep these pests from getting to your pet.

Food allergies can cause year-round problems in our pets. We often try eliminating certain ingredients from your pet’s diet to find out what they are allergic to. This process requires time to take effect, but the long-term results can be great for your pet.

East Tennessee presents a wide variety of environmental allergies for our pets (both indoor and outdoor). Just like us, they often become itchy, scratchy, sneezy, and snotty when the seasons change. There are many tests and treatment options available to help manage your pet’s allergies. Once your pet develops allergies, it is often a lifelong condition. Consistent communication with our doctors will give you the best chance to provide long-lasting comfort for your pet.
