Quality Veterinary Medicine :: Allergy Testing for Pets
Allergy Testing for Dogs and Cats
Like us, our pets can also suffer from allergies. The tough part is finding out what they’re allergic to, and how it’s affecting their health. Although the process is not difficult, we know that allergens such as grasses, mold, dust mites, and foods can have adverse effects on a pet’s skin, hair, and general health.
No one wants to suffer from an allergy, and we certainly don’t want our pets to suffer either. To discover the root cause of your pet’s allergy problems, we employ three testing methods:
- We diagnose the allergy
- We treat the allergy
- We control the allergy
By employing various testing methods, we’re able to combine changes in the pet’s diet with blood testing. Then we suggest possible changes that you can make to the pet’s environment at home.
It’s not a long process, but it depends on you working as a team with your pet’s doctor to find a solution that works for you and for your pet. Sometimes by changing just one element in the configuration (such as a dietary change), your pet’s allergies seem to disappear almost overnight.
Sometimes there’s a fabric, an odor or scent, burning compounds or something else in the home environment that triggers an animal’s allergic reactions. All it takes usually is one simple change to achieve astounding results.
If you suspect that your pet has an allergy, call us to make an appointment. We’ll begin our three-step testing methodology and get your pet back to great health as soon as possible.
