THE first effective treatment for potentially lethal food allergies could be on the market within a decade, according to an expert.

Tip! Ironically, however, pets also are commonly afflicted with stubborn allergies that are a source of much distress–and expense–for their owners. And, very commonly–just as with their owners–medical interventions that mainly focus on treating the symptoms are quite ineffective.

Allergies in pets(mostly dogs and cats) are diagnosed far more frequently these days than in the past. This
is probably due to a combination of factors - more pets being
taken to vets, better diagnostic tools, an increased allergen load in the environment, and
probably indiscriminate breeding.

Any animal can be allergic to any substance or product but generally pet allergies fit into
one of several broad categories. These are:

1) Contact allergies.

2) Inhaled allergies (Atopy)

3) Food allergies

4) Flea allergy

The animal’s immune system is responsible for the allergic reaction, which in many cases is seen as an intense itchy
skin which makes the animal scratch a lot.However, a food allergy can also lead to vomiting
and diarrhoea.

Tip! Another strange thing about allergies is that they are never predictable. They might disappear for no apparent reason and reappear when one least expects them to.

Unfortunately, once an animal is allergic to one factor, the chances are good that
it will be more likely to become allergic to other things in its environment. Likewise,
the older the animal gets, the more severe the allergy is likely to become.

As a result, one of the methods used to control allergies is to minimise the allergen
“load” on allergy prone individuals. This involves measures like using hypo-allergenic
shampoos to wash the pet, minimising the flea and tick load on the animal, feeding
hypo allergenic diets etc.

Tip! These substances are well-known for causing allergies. Different factors determine the levels of these substances on a regular basis.

The first and most important step in treating an allergic reaction in a pet is
trying to identify the allergen i.e. what caused the allergic reaction. This is often
easier said than done, especially if the condition has been present for some time
before professional help is sought.

In most allergy cases the veterinarian (and the suffering pet!) are relying on you
to give an accurate account of events leading up to when the symptoms were first
observed. An accurate history can eliminate many possible causes straight away
and allows the veterinarian to narrow the search down quickly to the most likely
set of possibilities. This saves time and money and can speed up the diagnostic
process. The faster an accurate diagnosis is made, the faster the relief for your pet.

A few warnings are in order though. From a veterinary point of view, allergies
can be an extremely frustrating! It is not uncommon for weeks and months of
diagnostic effort to come up with nothing conclusive in terms of identifying
the allergen. This is because many cases are multi-factorial in origin, with
many allergens possibly playing a roll.

Tip! Harold Miller used to suffer from allergies until he took it upon himself to get educated. While Harold still has the occasional bout, he has learned many ways to improve his allergies and as a result enjoys serving as a contributing editor at allergyrelief101.

In any event, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to “cure” an allergy.
Mostly the best you can hope for is to manage the condition by limiting your
pets exposure to the offending allergen(s) - the aforementioned allergen load.

There is little or anything the animal can do to avoid allergens
in the food you feed it or the surrounds you keep it in.Your task then, as your

pets minder, is to enure that this allergen load is
kept to a minimum which in turn will minimise the need for ongoing
treatment and will ensure a happier, healthier pet.

Tip! Dog allergies can include skin allergies, dog food allergies (particularly corn and soy), house dust and dust mites, ragweed, molds, pollens and others.
