Pets, including dogs and cats, can experience seasonal allergies similar to humans, displaying symptoms like itching, excessive licking, and ear infections. According to veterinarian Dr. Carly Fox, these allergies are commonly presented in animal clinics. Various over-the-counter medications are available to help alleviate their discomfort. While Zyrtec is a preferred first option, alternatives include Claritin or Allegra, but it's crucial to consult with a vet regarding dosages and to avoid certain formulations that may be harmful to pets.
"Dogs and cats can get seasonal allergies - or atopic dermatitis - just like people. In fact, allergies are one of the most common presentations to general practice veterinarians."
"I typically try Zyrtec in my patients first - yes, the same one you take! If Zyrtec is not effective, I will try Claritin or Allegra."
