Judy, my Rudy doesn't have allergies, but Lucky does. The pollen count has been really bad in my area for a while now. But it doesn't stop Lucky from going outside and rubbing his face in the grass.
Last Saturday, Rudy got his "summer cut " he is so... short and he did look like a different dog when we picked him up.
You will know when it's time to get Ginger her "summer cut ".
