Causes of Dog Eczema

Eczema in dogs is usually caused by allergies. Secondly, physical and chemical factors external to the dog can also cause eczema, such as mechanical compression, friction, bites, scratches, insect bites, or the stimulation of certain drugs. In addition, inadequate daily care and nutrition can also cause dog skin allergies and lead to eczema. Moreover, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can weaken the dog's physical fitness, making it more susceptible to skin diseases such as eczema.

Allergies

Canine eczema usually refers to the inflammatory response of dog skin epithelial cells to allergens. Dogs with allergic constitutions are prone to illness, and common everyday causes are food allergies and drug allergies. If the situation is severe, it may even threaten the dog's life, so owners must timely take their dogs to the hospital for treatment.

External Stimuli
Dogs are easily susceptible to eczema when exposed to physical stimuli from the outside, such as mechanical compression, friction, bites, scratches, and insect bites.
In addition, if dogs are stimulated by chemical factors, such as the stimulation of certain drugs they ingest, eczema problems can also occur.
Furthermore, if the dog's hair is not dried promptly after getting wet or after bathing with shampoo, bacterial proliferation in the hair can also lead to eczema.
Improper Care
If the dog's living environment is dark and damp, it will stimulate the dog's body to cause skin allergies and eczema.
If a dog consumes too many carbohydrates in its daily life, it will be more susceptible to eczema. Therefore, owners should pay attention to balanced nutrition in their dog's diet and avoid feeding them too many carbohydrates, especially human food.
In seasons with high temperatures and high humidity, it is also easy for dogs to develop eczema. The period from May to September is a high-incidence season for eczema. Owners are advised to keep their dogs cool, dry, and maintain dry skin.
Nutrient Deficiencies

If a dog lacks vitamins or other trace elements, its immune system will weaken, and along with it, the dog's resistance to skin diseases will decrease, making it more prone to conditions such as eczema.
