Symptoms of Cat Allergies

With increase in chemical pesticides and additives in our foods sources and general environment there has been a steady increase in dog allergies and immune-system problems. According Dr. John Heinerman writing in his book Natural Pet Cures > says most vets concur that there are basically three reasons for this trend: poor diet (quality of food), vaccinations (multiple vaccinations) and inbreeding (cosmetic breeding practices).

Dog’s allergic reaction is different from cats. Dogs have a general itchiness of skin and rash or sores. Dog’s will allergies will have redness (inflammation) in ears, toes, and genitals. Gastrointestinal disturbance is common also (gas).

Cats also have skin problems but they more frequently have bladder inflammation and digestive upset. Cats may display no symptoms at all except erratic behavior caused by their discomfort such as fidgeting, licking and biting themselves.
