Allergies

The Pollen Bomb is working. No more weepies eyes for Bug. I am so pleased! If you are interested in trying it with your dog e-mail Lita of Pets 4 Homeopathy (e-mail is on the web site). The Pollen Bomb is not currently listed on her website, but if you e-mail her she can send it off. Cost is $15.00 + $5.95 S+H.

Out of curiosity I decided to try and figure out what is currently in bloom and likely triggered Bug's weepies. I discovered this great web site called: Pollen.com. Plug in your zip code and it will tell you the predominant pollens and rate the day on a scale of 1 - 10.


Today, in my zipcode is a 10 - which makes perfect sense given the crushing headache I have. Predominant pollens are: Ragweed, Sagebrush, Sage, and Nettle.

I thought those of you who's dogs appear to have environmental allergies might find this interesting.

Thanks for the update and the info! I've had a migraine for the past two days myself, I'll have to check what my zipcode reading says.

I might check it out. Spot has terrible pollen allergies in the Spring and Fall. He was itching like crazy at agility practice last week.

Glad to hear the pollen bomb is working for Bug!

Iris seems to have environmental allergies too. A friend just suggested taking a spoonful of raw honey every day for pollen allergies (more effective if the honey is local). She said it helped her, so I'm going to try Iris on it.

Blue, You'll have to let me know if that works. I recal a WDJ article a few years ago that suggested the same thing. It would be easy enough to add!
