๐Ÿ•๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ Skin Allergies in Pets ๐Ÿฉบ๐ŸŽ‹

Pet Vets Manurewa from Pet Vets Manurewa

Spring means allergy season โ€” not just for us, but for our furry friends too! ๐ŸŒธ

We often see dogs with skin, ear, and eye irritations during this time of year. If left untreated, these can lead to secondary bacterial or fungal infections that are much harder to manage.

๐Ÿ’Š Unlike humans, antihistamines donโ€™t work very well in pets. But donโ€™t worry โ€” there are safe and effective treatments available!

Cytopoint injections โ€“ a monthly treatment that helps stop the itch.

Apoquel tablets โ€“ help control ongoing itchiness.

Supportive care โ€“ including medicated shampoos, low-allergy foods, and good flea control.

๐Ÿถ If your pet is itching, licking, or showing signs of discomfort, talk to us today. Weโ€™ll help tailor the best treatment plan to keep them happy and comfortable this spring! ๐ŸŒผ

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to โ€œexuberanceโ€? ๐Ÿฅ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Postโ€™s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weโ€™re โ€œallergic to exuberance.โ€

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itโ€™s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
