Contact dermatitis in dogs is an allergic reaction after exposure to a substance or allergen. This results in inflammation of the skin. Dogs can develop reactions to many things, like shampoo, pollen, or even insects. Contact dermatitis is not as common as atopic dermatitis in dogs.
Contact dermatitis is not usually a life-threatening condition. It can cause your dog to be very itchy, but with appropriate management, the long-term prognosis is good. Dogs of all ages can be affected by contact dermatitis.
