If you’ve lived with a cat in the past without developing allergic symptoms, it’s possible to develop cat allergies later in life.You can suddenly develop a cat allergy when you’re exposed to a new cat later. Exposure to a new cat could trigger a response from your immune system and develop into an allergy.

People with an allergy to dogs may take medications to help manage their allergic reactions. A person can choose from several available options depending on the symptoms and their severity.An allergic reaction occurs when a person’s immune system reacts hypersensitively to specific proteins called allergens. In response to these foreign substances, the body produces antibodies that release chemicals such as histamines. These chemicals cause allergy symptoms.

Or, there’s a friendly stray dog that looks hungry hanging around your backyard. Soon you’ve got a new pet in your home, and it doesn’t take long for the sneezing and itchy, watery eyes to start. You’re allergic to your new cat or dog, and you’re not sure if there’s anything you can do about it.

Dr. Millie Rosales, a Miami-based veterinary dermatologist who specializes in skin and ear problems in dogs and cats, has some answers for you. Her Instagram account, aptly named @gotitchypet, has lots of close-ups of inflamed paws and ears and snouts, but also witty Reels about flea prevention and the proper use of medication.In vet school, Dr. Rosales felt restricted by the general curriculum. “I felt like I could take my knowledge only so far. If a case got complicated, I had to send it out to a specialist. I felt like I needed more,” she says. “I realized I always liked dermatology and I feel like I’m really good at one thing.” We asked Dr. Rosales for her opinion on a few popular allergy treatments for dogs. Just like she does on the ’gram, she has strong opinions and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Until our pets can tell us what’s bothering them, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
