Seasonal Allergies in your dog ?

Having a pet with seasonal allergies can be a very tricky thing to get under control. They can be allergic to pollens, grass, fleas, flea dirt, trees and more.

Signs your dog has a seasonal allergy:
-scratching and itching 
-hair loss 
-constant paw licking 
-many food allergies will show the same signs as seasonal allergies. They key is to pinpoint when the allergies start, if anything has changed to cause the sign of the allergen, etc)

Thankfully there are all natural supplements out there for your dog to help:
