Atopy is a chronic allergic skin disease where a dog's immune system overreacts to common environmental substances like pollen, mold spores, and dust mites. This inappropriate immune response damages the natural protective barrier of the skin, leading to persistent inflammation and irritation. It primarily affects the skin, which is the body's largest organ system.
Symptoms typically appear between 1 and 3 years of age, often starting seasonally before becoming a year-round issue. Owners will usually notice intense itching, frequent scratching, skin redness, and constant licking of the paws.
Atopy is incurable and requires lifelong management rather than a one-time cure. Treatment is highly customizable and can include specialized medications, topical therapies, and allergen avoidance, with lifetime costs typically ranging from €3,000 to €15,000.
