Our dogs are suffering too.
When spring arrives, many of us humans are reaching for the tissues and allergy meds. Turns out our dogs may be suffering, too.

In the short term, the prescriptions helped, but “we were in and out of there all the time,” Lori says. “We’d start , and it’d get under control ... come off of it, and it’d start up again. It was just a vicious cycle.” They were referred to a veterinary dermatologist who administered an allergy test to pinpoint Henri’s allergies.
“That’s their world. They’re living in the biggest concentration of allergens — on the floor or outside on the grass — and they’re walking on it and lying on it all day long,” Cook says. “So I think because of that, it’s a different presentation and probably why it seems to be a lot harder to control in many cases than with people.”
