🌸 The Season of Allergies
Spring and summer bring longer walks, warmer weather, and more time outside with our dogs—but they also bring seasonal allergies. If your dog starts itching, scratching, or developing red, irritated skin at this time of year, they might be reacting to environmental triggers like pollen, mould spores, or flea bites.
Allergies can be frustrating—for both dogs and their humans—but there are natural, long-term ways to manage them that go beyond just treating symptoms.
🌿 What Causes Allergies in Dogs?
Allergic symptoms often show up on the outside—like itchy skin, ear infections, or licking paws—but the root cause usually lies within.
Many dogs develop sensitivities because their immune systems are overstimulated, often due to a combination of the following:
• 🧪 A poor-quality or heavily processed diet
• 🐜 Overuse of chemical flea treatments or medications
• 😰 Chronic stress or anxiety
• 🦠 Gut microbiome imbalance
• 🧻 Toxin build-up in the liver or digestive system
When the body is out of balance, even harmless things like grass or pollen can cause an immune overreaction.
🌱 Natural Ways to Support Allergy-Prone Dogs
Instead of suppressing the symptoms with medications, we believe in supporting your dog’s entire system, helping them become more resilient from the inside out.
🥕 1. Feed for health
Choose a fresh, species-appropriate diet (raw or gently cooked) that’s rich in nutrients and free from fillers or artificial ingredients. Avoid common allergens like wheat, chicken, or beef if your dog is sensitive.
🌿 2. Focus on the gut
A healthy gut is the foundation of a strong immune system. Include prebiotics and probiotics, as well as natural herbs like slippery elm or fennel, to promote good digestion and balance the microbiome.
🍃 3. Detox gently
Toxins from food, meds, or the environment can accumulate over time. Herbs like milk thistle, dandelion, and burdock support the liver and help remove waste gently and naturally.
🚿 4. Minimise environmental load
Use natural, unscented grooming products. Bathe your dog in gentle, herbal shampoos. Rinse paws after walks to remove pollen and other irritants.
🌼 5. Manage inflammation naturally
Anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric, nettle, liquorice, and blackcurrant leaf help reduce itching, redness, and flare-ups—without harsh side effects.
