Hair Loss in Dogs

Seasonal shedding occurs naturally but scratching and excessive hair loss can indicate parasites or certain diseases and should be treated before infection sets in. A few of the most common reasons for hair loss in dogs are discussed below.
Flea Allergy
Just one flea bite can cause a reaction in some dogs allergic to flea saliva. Fleas may be hard to detect, particularly on dark haired dogs, but when skin inflammation occurs around the base of the tail, fleas are a suspicion. Flea bites cause itching of the entire body and can lead to infection. The best treatment is prevention in the form of a high quality topically applied flea control. Read the rest of this entry »

Natural Treatments on Skin Rashes and Hot Spots

Posted in Treatments

Understanding the cause of your pet’s allergies and skin rashes will help you develope a treatment plan that goes beyond masking the symptoms to addressing the cause.
There is an interesting array of retail products, shampoos, creams and conditioners that make impressive claims to “fix” skin rashes or soothe and heal hotspots. This may well be the case, however, without making the necessary internal changes, these products will provide a temporary band aid, effectively masking the symptoms without addressing the actual cause of the issue. This is when a holistic approach to treatment becomes favorable.

Pet: Flea Allergic Dermatitis

Posted in Treatments

When a flea bites, the saliva that prevents your pet’s blood from clotting, so that the flea can take its blood meal, is what causes an allergic reaction in some pets.
You have noticed that your dog or cat is constantly scratching and biting at itself, but you can’t see any fleas. It could be that your poor pet is suffering from flea allergic dermatitis or FAD.
What is Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD)?
Flea allergy dermatitis is when your pet suffers an allergic reaction from a fleabite. When fleas feed on dogs and cats, they release saliva with the bite, to prevent the blood from coagulating. The flea saliva is what causes the allergic reaction in some pets, and results in inflammation and itchiness and if left untreated, can become severe enough to cause self-mutilating behaviour and secondary infection.
