Not all of them get allergies. Some are allergic to certain foods and medicines. Others have what is comparable to seasonal allergies in humans. Once the pollen and flowers start to come out in the spring time your dog may exhibit watery eyes and a runny nose. Medication from the Vet will help out a lot.
