Treating and minimizing pets’ allergies
by Judy Hein Terrigno
Seasonal allergies are in full swing and
bring soaring pollen counts. While people
try to minimize their allergy symptoms,
their four-legged friends may suffer too.
Instead of watery eyes and sneezes, pet
allergies appear in other ways.
“Pets have the same seasonal and nonseasonal allergies as people. Non-seasonal
inhalant allergies include dust mites,
molds or foods,” said Dr. Alice Jeromin,
a veterinarian dermatologist.
“With dogs, inhalant allergies may cause
facial issues including recurrent ear infections. Other signs include licking their
feet, scooting on their bottoms or an
affected underside of their tummy area.
Cats have a more diverse appearance with
allergies. Some may lick the hair off their
stomachs, others are facially and rectally
itchy, and some have lesions,” she said.
Sometimes a pet owner mistakes a
pet’s habitual behavior as boredom, but
the specialist said it is wise to consider
the possibility of a new allergy. It is not
uncommon for dogs and cats to develop
allergies as they age, she said.
Food allergies are common and so are
misconceptions about them. There are no
blood or skin tests to identify food allergies in pets, so owners must use trial and
error to determine the problem.
“Discovering a pet’s allergies requires
detective work,” Jeromin said. “There
is no over-the-counter hypoallergenic
diet. Grain-free does not mean hypoallergenic – in fact, dogs need complex
carbohydrates, or grains, to have a normal
stool,” she said.
Veteranians sometimes advise the pet’s
owner to cook a particular diet consisting
of a single protein and a single carbohydrate with ingredients that the pet has
never been exposed to. Then, the owner
can introduce a new ingredient each week
or two and monitor the pet's reacton.
After identifying the cause of a pet's allergy discomfort, "we devise a long-term
plan that is safe and cost effective for the
pet. For example, once a pet’s allergies are
identified, we may suggest oral drops or
injections that desensitize the pet against
what they are allergic to or provide the
proper diet. This avoids steroids and anA Publication of ScripType Inc.
tihistamines. Steroids are not safe for long
term use and antihistamines rarely control
pet allergies long term,” Jeromin said.
There are ways a pet owner can minimize outdoor allergens on their pet, such
as keeping its coat short, bathing or wiping it down after playing outside.
“Bathing or wiping off a pet when they
come in helps to limit the allergens,” said
Jeromin, who suggested keeping the home
air conditioned to reduce allergens.
“Dust mites like darkness and bedding,
carpet and upholstery. Hard wood floors
are preferred to carpet,” she said.
Jeromin is one of only 150 boardcertified veterinary dermatologists in
the country. “Allergies are a happy, nonthreatening specialty.” she said. ∞

Insuring pets against
illness, injury
by Kathleen Steele Gaivin
Health insurance brings peace of mind
when a family member falls ill or suffers
an accident. But what happens when the
family pet faces an unexpected medical
situation?
Some insurance companies now offer coverage for pets that are available
through private policies and in some
cases, through an employee’s annual benefits. According to the American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(ASPCA), about 1 million pets in North
America are protected with veterinary
insurance. Policies are generally valid at
any licenced veterinary practice, including
emergency clinics.
ASPCA offers consumers several levels
of veterinary health insurance with varying deductibles and covered services, and
a 10 percent discount for multiple pets.
For individualized information, visit
aspcapetinsurance.com
Cleveland Clinic offers its employees voluntary veterinary pet insurance
through MetLife Home and Auto Insurance Agency. MetLife offers policies
for dogs, cats, birds and exotic pets.
Cleveland Clinic does not subsidize premiums for pet insurance but affords the
employees the opportunity to buy into a
group policy at a reduced cost. The comprehensive policy covers accidents, illness
and hereditary issues at a cost of $11 to
$16 per semimonthly paycheck.
Although veterinary pet insurance has
been available for 20 to 30 years, Dr.
David Koncal of Northfield Veterinary
Clinic said “very few” of his patients are
insured. “It’s just catching on,” he said.
Pet owners still must pay the medical
bill upfront, Koncal said. Once the bill
is paid, the owner submits the claim for
reimbursement.
Most pet insurance policies do not cover
pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes.
“Sign up for it when the animal is young,”
Koncal said. ∞

day, including Twinsburg and Cleveland
locations.
Unlike traditional boarding facilities,
where dogs may be kenneled, these doggie
day cares have large open spaces for play,
making sure the pets get plenty of exercise
and socialization. Interaction with people
is another key benefit.
At the Bed & Bark, for example, there
is one staff person for every 10 dogs.
The ratio at Hattie’s Doggie Day Care &
Boarding is even lower, because the nonprofit uses the day care sites as vocational
training centers for developmentally disabled clients. Walker said 12 individuals
are at each site during a given shift. That
translates into one person for every three
dogs on a busy day.
The day care at Bed & Bark is $22 per
day. Hattie’s locations charge $20 per
day. Both offer discounted packages for
multiple days. ∞

Cycling class
to offer techniques
to improve road riding
Cycling on the roadways can open
up a world of exploration. However,
people often take to the road but are
not aware of the technical skills that
improve riding performance, personal
safety and respect from vehicle drivers.
The organizers of the Eddy’s Bike
Shop Sweet Corn Challenge and the
Richfield Recreation Department
have enlisted the help of the Cleveland
Touring Club to teach a road-biking
technique and safety class at 1:30 p.m.
Saturday, July 27, the day before the
challenge (Sunday, July 28).
Certified instructors from the League
of American Bicyclists will teach the
three-hour class. Half of the instruction
will be in the classroom and the other
half on bikes, which participants must
bring. The class will be at the Richfield
Recreation Center, 3333 Brecksville
Rd. The regular cost is $25. However,
those who register online at clevelandtouringclub1.wildapricot.org/classes
and choose the Sweet Corn Challenge
tab pay only $15. The fee must be paid
online and is separate from Eddy’s Sweet
Corn Challenge registration. Visit the
website for more information. ∞
