Atopic dermatitis is a disease of dogs, although it can occur sporadically in the cat. The typical age of onset of atopic dermatitis is between 6 months and 3 years of age and signs are hardly ever seen in animals under 6 months of age. Atopy is heritable and so breed predispoitions occur. Susceptible breeds include the : Beaceron, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Cairn Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Dalmation, English Bulldog, English Setter, Fox Terrier, Sealyham Terrier, Setters, Shar-Pei, West Highland White Terrier, Wire Hiared fox Terrier, and Yorkshire Terrier^beale. Certain breeds such as the Cocker Spaniel, Dachshund, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, German Short-haired pPinter and Poodle appear to have a decreased risk of atopy. There is no sex predilection for developing atopy.
