Dog Allergy Symptoms Reduce Happiness in Labrador Retriever

The day before yesterday I was at a birthday party. Me and my aunt were talking dog stuff and she was telling me the story of Demi the happy Labrador Retriever. Demi, now 4 years old, has suffered from multiple dog allergies since 15 months of age. It all started one summer and she was itching and scratching like crazy. Her skin was damaged and she was showing several bald spots. And on top of that… Demi the happy Labrador, was not so happy anymore. Scratching all the time of course requires a lot of energy, but when your skin keeps itching… how can you sleep?

Hey, it’s a very rainy summer this year so everything is going well with my allergy.
Minimal itching en scratching this summer for me.

And once again, it appears that to every downside there is an upside :)

Sunny weather: itching and scratching.
Rainy weather: decrease in allergy signs for Demi.
