Shiba Inu Allergies: What You Need to Know and How to Help 🐾

Did You Know?
Shiba Inus aren’t just known for their fox-like appearance and dramatic screams at the vet—they’re also more prone to allergies and dermatitis than some other breeds! If your Shiba struggles with itchy skin or sensitive digestion, you’re not alone.

🐾 Common Allergy Triggers in Dogs

Allergies in dogs can manifest as persistent itching, redness, or upset stomachs. The culprits?

  • Food Proteins: Ingredients like chicken, beef, or dairy.
  • Environmental Allergens: Pollen, dust mites, or even grass.

🔍 How to Identify Allergies

Not sure what’s causing your pup’s discomfort? Your veterinarian can help by conducting allergy tests or panels. These tests identify specific triggers, making it easier to adjust your dog’s diet or environment.
