Hay fever
Hi, I think my dog has hayfever. He scratches himself almost all the time and did this last year. He gets a bit grumpy sometimes when you touch him and generally a bit fidgety. I've heard that you can give a dog a bit of piroton (or however) you spell it. Any one have any other solutions that have worked for them? X

I know a lot of people use the antihistamine Piriton . However if it was my dog I would go for a vet check to make sure there was nothing else causing the problem.
If it is allergy related the vet will be able to prescribe an antihistamine that contains a mild sedative to help with the scratching

If you do get some, make sure it's the basic one, not the once a day type. I use the Tesco own brand.
