Atopy is an allergic skin condition in dogs caused by exposure to normally innocuous substances in the environment such as house dust mite, pollen from trees, flowers or grasses and mould spores that are absorbed through the skin or inhaled. These substances, called allergens make the immune system over-react and release histamines causing excessive itching. The dog’s paws, face, groin, armpits and ears are most commonly affected areas.
