What is my Bull Terrier Allergic to?

Big Dog | July 21st, 2010

Skin allergies are quite common among Bull Terriers. Some people don’t take it seriously, saying it’s just a bit itchy and that’s all, but it can be a real suffer for the puppy. But how to notice? The skin gets irritated, reddish and the dog is scratching a lot more than before. You should always pay additional attention to the area between the toes, because that is where the allergic reaction can be seen first. The vet will probably prescribe some steroids or antibiotics, but the best thing to do is prevention. For this, you have to know the source of the problem. The food allergies are harder to guess than the ones caused by plants in the surrounding area. The most common reasons for their allergy are originated from food: it can be red meat, poultry, or anything else, like rice or potatoes. The best thing to do is to start a diet, so you’ll see what your bullie is allergic to. But take into consideration that it takes at least 2 months to see if the diet is working or not.
Apart from this, it is obviously necessary to take your pup to the vet as soon as you see the first signs.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!
