As with humans, dogs can get seasonal allergies, and pollen is often the main culprit – particularly during summer due to flowers blooming and bees pollinating. Across the UK this week, temperatures are reaching the mid to-high 20s with the Met Office warning of 'very high' pollen levels for the majority of the country.
Working alongside grain-free dog food brand Barking Heads, vet Dr Scott Miller has revealed how dogs can be affected by hay fever. The expert has also listed the warning signs to look out for and how to treat your beloved pooch.
When affected by hay fever, a dog’s body will react by releasing histamines to combat pollen during an allergic reaction, the vet warns. This can lead to inflammation, irritation and itchiness for your pup.
