Stop the itch at the door—literally!

Many dogs pick up allergens like pollen, mold spores, dust, and even chemicals (like lawn treatments) during walks. These tiny irritants stick to fur, skin, and paws—and can cause big reactions later. That’s why creating a post-walk hygiene routine is your first line of defence.

Step-by-Step Plan

1. Wipe Down After Every Walk 🧽

• Even if it’s not muddy, invisible allergens are clinging to your dog’s paws, belly, and legs. A quick wipe helps prevent flare-ups before they start.

2. Rinse Off After Grassy Play💧

• If your dog rolls in the grass or gets dusty, rinse with plain water—no need for shampoo unless they’re really dirty. Shampooing too often can dry out the skin and worsen irritation.

• 🐾 Paw tip: Dogs with itchy paws often have environmental allergies. Consistent rinsing can reduce symptoms without the need for medication.

3. Limit Time Outdoors on High-Allergen Days 🌤

• During dry, windy days or after fresh grass cutting, allergens peak. Plan short potty breaks and replace outdoor time with indoor sniff games or puzzle play.
