Environmental Allergies & Allergy Testing

Environmental allergies are a common cause of scratching, itching, and dermatitis in dogs and cats. If your pet suffers from these issues, your veterinary care team will develop a personalized plan for your pet. This may include:

  • Year round prevention to protect your pet from external parasites
  • A specialized diet
  • Allergy medications
  • Allergy testing
  • Desensitization program

If your pet’s health care plan includes allergy testing, then a blood test may be submitted to determine allergens that your pet reacts with and to design a desensitization program with either injections or oral drops. This is a non-pharmaceutical option available to dogs and cats 2 years and older.
