allergies in dogs

Allergies in dogs

Allergies are now one of the most prevalent dog diseases. They are an overreaction of the immune system. This classifies actually harmless substances as a threat and thus causes a defense reaction of the body.


If a dog suffers from an allergy, this manifests itself in particular in the form of skin and fur problems and sometimes also causes indigestion.

Dogs are especially affected by the following allergies:

Eye diseases in dogs

There are several eye diseases that dogs can suffer from. Often they are caused by an infection with viruses, bacteria or fungi.


In some cases eye diseases occur in dogs but also due to age. In addition, some races are particularly susceptible to problems with the eyes due to anatomical features.

Among other things, dogs can suffer from the following eye diseases:

  • conjunctivitis
  • cataract
  • green Star
  • keratitis

Diseases of the metabolism

A functioning metabolism ensures that your dog's body is supplied with all the necessary nutrients.


Dog diseases that affect the metabolism, however, are not uncommon and can sometimes cause significant discomfort in affected animals.


Among other things, dogs can suffer from the following metabolic diseases:

  • diabetes
  • cushing's disease
  • hypothyroidism
  • disorders of purine metabolism

Joint disease in dogs

Joint complaints are also among the common dog diseases. They are extremely painful for affected animals and may even lead to paralysis.

As a cause of joint disease in dogs, among other things overload and obesity come into question. Certain breeds, however, also tend to have problems from the outset.

In dogs, among others, the following joint diseases are common:

Skin and coat problems in dogs

In many cases, skin and coat problems are not a separate dog disease, but merely the symptom of another underlying disease.

For example, they can be caused by kidney problems, allergies, parasites, and should therefore not be taken lightly.

Skin and coat problems are manifested among other things in dogs by the following symptoms:

Infectious diseases in dogs

There are countless infectious diseases that can affect dogs. Some of them are transmitted by parasites, while others are transmitted via infected conspecifics.


The symptoms and consequences vary greatly depending on the disease. Some of them can be deadly. Others usually go harmless.

Dogs can get sick with the following infectious diseases, among others:

Organ diseases in dogs

Of course, your dog can also suffer from a variety of organ diseases. The consequences of this depend on the exact nature of the disease.


However, many of these dog diseases are very dangerous and require immediate treatment or even permanent veterinary therapy.

Among other things, dogs can suffer from the following organ diseases:

Parasites in dogs

There is probably no dog that has not suffered at some point in his life under a parasite infestation and the associated symptoms. One distinguishes between endo- and ectoparasites.


A parasite infestation causes skin and coat problems as well as indigestion. Untreated, it can cause permanent damage or even fatal. Some parasites also transmit dangerous dog diseases.

Dogs are mainly attacked by the following parasites:

Verdauungsstörungen bei Hunden

A healthy digestion is essential for the well-being and optimal utilization of the absorbed nutrients. Digestive problems are not uncommon in dogs.


They can be triggered for example by other dog diseases, parasites, allergies or even excessive stress. In many cases, however, a wrong, or inferior nutrition of the animal is responsible.

Among the possible diseases and problems with the digestion of dogs include:

Dental problems in the dog

Dental problems are not uncommon in dogs, with certain breeds considered particularly vulnerable. In order to avoid discomfort with the teeth of your dog, you should pay attention to the daily dental care from an early age and have the dentition checked regularly by the vet.

Dogs may suffer from the following dental problems:

  • tartar
  • caries
  • tooth fractures
