Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is the name for the clinical condition that is the allergic reaction, usually to environmental allergens but can also be food-related, that manifests as itchy and inflamed skin that causes a dog to rub, lick, bite and scratch the area – often making it worse and leading to secondary infection. It’s angry and itchy and merciless and you’ll want to do just about anything to soothe it and, even better, solve it.
Approx 10% of the world’s dog population presents to the vet with this condition, with some reports of slightly higher incidence in females. Up to 23% may have a concurrent food hypersensitivity.
Experts are saying that allergies are increasing such that 50% of dogs will likely experience them in their lifetime. Some breeds are more susceptible but any breeds can get them and there is a wide range of severity.
