An allergy is an oversensitive reaction of the body’s immune system to normally harmless substances in the environment. Animal allergies fall under several general categories; seasonal allergens (such as dust, pollen, or mold), dietary allergens (such as meat or dairy), parasitic allergens (such as fleas), or contact irritation.
