Think back to the time you got up in the morning, went over to your bathroom mirror and notice an infamous red dot right smack dab on your nose. Feel uncomfortable? And how could you not? However, while you might wake to unveil skin problems and not be surprised, would you be surprised to learn that dog skin problems exist in the very same way? Of course, there are much more understandable and expected reasons for why dog skin problems come about, and it is definitely not because they may have been eating too much chocolate. Actually, just as a quick extra rule of thumb, dogs and chocolate do not mix. Moving on though to our original point of topic. Dog skin problems present themselves in a number of ways and likewise can be traced to a number of different sources. It isn't so important whether the reaction deals with hives, a set of rashes, or even some less likely inflammation. The point is that they are still experiencing an allergic reaction and you need to know the correct source of the reaction in order to do the right thing about it. However, as likely as the problem is to be fleas, which dogs are quite susceptible to, and come in continual contact with when outdoors, one can never be sure. In fact, a good number of people tend to treat every skin problem they find as if it is fleas, sometimes adding to the problem, or, at the very least, prolonging its improvement. As you probably realize by now, dogs enjoy sticking their noses into every nook and cranny and every stranger's palm they are able. Due to this, they have extremely increased odds when it comes to running into an allergen causing dog skin problems. Yet, what does one have to look out for you may be wondering, and the answer is pretty extensive. For example, when your dog is out just on one of its daily walks and looking about, they are already exposed to a whole number of elements one would not have thought would cause dog skin problems. Let's see, on the basic neighborhood walk a dog will find pollen, dirt filled with insects, various grasses that may have been treated with chemicals, other dogs, other people, free floating dust, and, lets not kid ourselves, the waste or urine of other dogs marking their territory. So where could a dog come into contact with a bacteria or allergen that could cause harm to their skin? Take your pick. Overall, the sheer magnitude of ways in which your dog may find dog skin problems is daunting. This means one thing. Take a deep breath. Think about the symptoms, and start taking control over the situation. If the roles were reversed, your dog would certainly have your back.
