Dog Allergies 101
Itching, paw licking, hot spots — they may look like skin issues, but they’re really signals from inside the body. At Myco Pet, we know most sensitivities start in the gut, where the microbiome influences immune balance, digestion, and skin comfort.
Learn how to understand your dog’s sensitivity patterns, support the gut–immune connection naturally, and bring lasting calm to their whole body — from the inside out. 💙
A Myco Pet Guide to Understanding Sensitivities from the Inside Out
At Myco Pet, we look past the itching and paw licking to understand what’s really happening inside the body. Most allergy symptoms aren’t just skin problems — they’re immune system responses linked to the gut.
When the microbiome is imbalanced, the immune system becomes more reactive.
The Three Most Common Sensitivity Patterns

Inflammation starting in the gut 💙 |
This is why symptoms often come and go — the immune system is responding to internal balance, not just environment.
Supporting Allergies from the Inside Out
- Prebiotics + probiotics rebalance gut bacteria
- Functional mushrooms support immune modulation
- Stable routine reduces stress signals to the gut
- Whole-food feeding lowers inflammatory load
Many pet parents rely on Gut & Immunity+ during allergy seasons to help soothe immune reactivity through the gut.
And when itching flares during stress or excitement, pairing gut support with Focus & Calm can help settle the gut–brain pathway.
