Natural Remedies for Pets with Allergies & Atopy

Atopy is one of the most common causes of allergies in pets, following flea allergy dermatitis. It is caused by your pet's immune system overreacting to substances in the air such as pollen, tobacco smoke, or dust mites. Pets that are atopic usually show symptoms of allergies with the changing of seasons (usually in the spring) but can potentially develop year-round allergies.
