Allergies have several causes, some of which have a genetic origin. Children of parents with allergy problems, are very likely to develop some type of allergic problem during their lifetime. The signs of allergy in pets appear after contact with certain allergens for several months or even after a few years. The typical allergic animal starts symptoms by licking or chewing its paws. Some of these symptoms are so mild that they are not even noticed by the owner. With the continuous exposure of these allergens, the animal will gradually increase the severity of the symptoms. After a while, these symptoms can develop into a persistent itch in various parts of the body, forming wounds that are often contaminated.
