Allergies are common this time of the year and occur in both cats and dogs. In most cases, there is not much that we can do about the allergens, but we can get rid of parasites, such as fleas, to an extent.
Affected pets constantly scratch, lick, itch and flap their ears, but the continuous scratching, biting and excessive grooming due to itching often damages the skin. This allows allergens to penetrate the skin more easily, causing secondary skin infections, like the dreaded hotspots.
Irritated skin is not the only discomfort your pet may experience: you may even notice an unpleasant smell or inflamed ears.
