Since many ailments reveal themselves through the canines skin condition, it is often hard to diagnose allergies. Unlike humans, stuffy noses and sneezing are not signs of dog skin allergies.
Dry, flaky, irritated skin, hair loss in patches, constant scratching or rubbing and abnormal behavior are symptoms of a health problem. Remember that allergies can develop at any time, and to nearly any thing. Knowing your dog’s typical behavior, as well as prior health history can help you detect potential problems early on.
