Dog Allergies: Why Your Pup Can’t Stop Itching
HOW TO HELP
Just like us, dogs can get allergies too. The tricky part? They can’t tell us what’s wrong - so they scratch, lick, chew and sometimes make things worse. If your pup has been gnawing at their paws, shaking their ears, or showing red, irritated skin, chances are allergies are behind it.
What Do Dog Allergies Look Like?
The most common dog allergy symptoms include:
- Constant paw chewing or licking
- Red, itchy skin (belly, armpits, paws)
- Shaking their head or scratching ears
- Watery eyes or sneezing (yes, dogs can get hayfever too!)
- Hot spots or hair loss
👉 This is exactly where Le Soother comes in - a certified natural, clinically formulated spray designed to calm irritation, cool hot spots and help protect your dog’s skin barrier so they can break the itch chew cycle.
Common Allergy Triggers
Dogs can react to a lot of the same things we do:
- Pollen & grasses (seasonal allergies)
- Dust mites in the home
- Food sensitivities (like chicken, beef, dairy)
- Fleas (even one bite can trigger a reaction)
- Environmental irritants (mold, cleaning sprays)
When exposure is unavoidable, soothing the skin becomes essential. A daily spritz of Le Soother gives fast relief from flare ups and helps keep their skin calmer between vet visits.
Why Dogs Chew Instead of Scratch
Well... dogs don’t have hands. When the itch kicks in, their only option is to chew or lick and that often leads to red, inflamed paws and raw patches.
That’s why we created Le Soother. Instead of them resorting to teeth, you’ve got a quick, gentle spray that does the job for them.
What You Can Do at Home
While your vet should always be part of the conversation, here are simple steps that can help:
- Wipe down paws after walks to remove pollen
- Use a gentle cleanser between baths like Pampoochie
- Keep up year round flea prevention
- Support skin health with a balanced diet
- Use Le Soother daily on itchy or red spots for cooling comfort and barrier protection
The Bottom Line
Allergies in dogs are common, but they don’t have to take over your pup’s life. Spotting the signs early, minimising triggers and soothing irritation with Le Soother means less chewing, less scratching and a much happier dog.
