Cats bring purrs, fluffy fur, and boatloads of joy to our lives. It can be hard to watch a feline friend itch, sneeze, or experience seemingly unexplained digestive issues. But a relatively straightforward culprit could be to blame: feline allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the team at Allure Veterinary Partners<\/a> is here to help demystify the three main causes of feline allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The good news is, there’s an easy fix: staying on top of flea prevention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your vet treats the current allergic reaction, of course! Once your pet is more comfortable, talk to your veterinarian<\/a> about the preventives your cat can take to keep the fleas away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
