Common Triggers of Dog Seasonal Allergies

Pollen: Trees (spring), grasses (summer), and weeds (late summer/fall).
Mold spores: Thrive in damp leaves, basements, or bathrooms.
Dust & dust mites: More noticeable during closed-window months.
Fleas: Saliva can cause intense itching—use prevention year-round.
Household irritants: Cleaning sprays or synthetic fragrances may aggravate skin.

How to Spot Allergy Symptoms

Allergy signs often wax and wane with the seasons. Look for:

Frequent scratching, chewing, or head shaking
Licking/chewing paws; red or stained fur between toes
Red, flaky, or inflamed skin; hot spots
Watery eyes, sneezing, nasal discharge
Recurring ear debris or infections
Thinning coat or patched hair loss

Everyday Support (That Actually Helps)

1) Rinse Away Irritants

Wipe paws and belly after walks to remove pollen and dust. Bathe weekly (or as recommended by your vet) with a gentle, fragrance-free shampoo. Launder bed covers in hot water to reduce allergens.

2) Feed the Skin Barrier

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Many pet parents add a daily omega source:

➜ Hemp Omega Oil for Dogs — plant-based omegas to support skin & coat comfort.

3) Keep Your Dog Comfortable

When seasonal discomfort flares after activity, some owners use hemp-derived support:

➜ Relief CBD Dog Soft Chews — for everyday aches and discomfort.
➜ Calm Dog Soft Chews — for a relaxed temperament during stressful triggers (grooming, vet visits).

4) Clean the Environment

Use a HEPA vacuum/filter, dehumidify damp spaces, and swap strong fragrances for gentle, pet-safe alternatives. During high pollen days, keep windows closed and run HVAC on recirculate.

5) Partner With Your Veterinarian

For persistent symptoms, see your vet. They may suggest flea control, diet trials, topical therapies, or medication. Always consult your veterinarian before changing your dog’s routine.

When to See the Vet

Book an appointment if your dog has open sores, ear infections, persistent hair loss, or skin that looks infected (oozing, strong odor). Your veterinarian can rule out other conditions and tailor a plan that may include diet, topicals, or prescribed therapies in addition to your at-home routine.
