Allergies &amp; Dermatology: Helping Your Pet Feel Comfortable in Their Skin If your pet is constantly scratching, licking, or dealing with skin irritation, they may be suffering from allergies or a dermatological condition. These issues can be frustrating for pets and pet parents alike—but the good news is, there are safe and effective treatments that can help.What Are Pet Allergies?Allergies occur when your pet’s immune system overreacts to something in their environment, food, or parasites.
