Mold Allergies Have Gone to the Dogs
Mold is one those dog allergies that can cause skin itching and general illness, paticularly mold that produces mycotoxins which suppress the immune system. The two most common places for mold is on you dogs food or in the rooms he is commonly kept. If you buy food for you dog from stores that don’t generally sell a lot of dog food there is a better chance that food has been sitting on the shelf too long allowing some mold to form. Sometimes the food producers themselves using poor quality products with a small amount of molding, this will be hard to know without having tests run. More than likely the mold is existing where he resides. If you house ever flooded, had a leaky pipe, or washing machine hose broke your house could be the source of mold. Perhaps you 20 year old plastic dog house could have some molding also. Look around and bleach or dry those areas and see if it gets better.
