French Bulldogs Allergies

French Bulldogs Allergies

Like many other breeds, French Bulldogs have been known to be sensitive to allergens found in food or the environment around them, so learning to recognize the signs of an allergic reaction will help your Frenchie enjoy a healthy life.

Types of French Bulldog Allergies

Food Allergies

The most common food allergy is related to certain proteins, which requires your Frenchie to have more lean meat.

The foods below are known to cause allergic reactions to French Bulldogs and other dogs which irritate their immune system:

• Dairy Products
• Chicken
• Beef
• Some fish
• Wheat
• Lamb
• Corn
• Soy
• Chicken eggs

Environmental Allergies

Environmental allergies react pretty much like food allergens. A dog’s antibodies can become hypersensitive when your dog comes into contact with the allergen that doesn’t mix with their makeup.

The environmental agents below are known to cause allergic reactions:

• Dust mites
• Animal dander
• Airborne pollen
• Mold spores

Food Allergy Symptoms

Food allergies in French Bulldogs and other canines can appear at any given moment just like humans. The symptoms vary depending on how serious the allergic reaction is.

When your dog suffers from a food allergy, they will begin to show the following signs:

• Gastrointestinal response. The most common abdominal response to food allergies is diarrhea, vomiting and non-stop flatulence that will have you reaching for cover! Dogs may also not digest their meal and can develop pancreatitis, dehydration or other dangerous medical conditions.
• Skin conditions. Like humans, dogs can suffer irritable skin conditions from their food allergies. Their skin will erupt and burst into itchy, painful hives, rashes, bumps, sores, hyperpigmentation and more. Open skin sores are prone to developing bacterial and fungal infections that must be tended to in order to prevent the open wound from becoming infected.

Environmental Allergy Symptoms

Dogs usually develop hereditary chronic environmental allergies between the ages of three and six. Like humans, these environmental allergies present themselves as atopic dermatitis causing the skin to be hypersensitive to allergens that manifest themselves as high fever, asthma, or irritated scabbed skin, and rashes.

Environmental allergies are permanent and have no cure. However, they can be controlled with medication.

When Frenchies suffer from an environmental allergy, they will scratch, rub, and lick their effected areas excessively.

The most inflamed parts of the body that dogs will chew, lick or scratch are:

• Groin area or stomach
• Toes and feet
• Ears
• Eyes, nose or face

You should be particularly careful if your Frenchie’s face is irritated, because their skinfolds can mask painful allergies or rashes!

Don’t forget it’s important to visit your vet every time you see some change in your Frenchie!
