Allergy Testing for Dogs

If your dog has allergies, they may be scratching, sneezing, itching all day and likely keeping you up at night, or they may also be experiencing tummy upset.

Allergy testing for dogs is a valuable tool in diagnosing and managing allergies, which can significantly improve your dog's quality of life.

The type of allergy test we do at Zippet Animal Center involves drawing a blood sample from your dog and testing it for antibodies that react to specific allergens. We test for environmental allergens such as pollen, mold, dust mites, and fleas, and food allergens like beef, dairy, wheat, chicken, and soy.

 

Benefits of Allergy Testing & Proper Management

Identifying these allergens allows us to recommend specific treatments, such as hypoallergenic diets, medications, or changes in your dog's environment, and can lead to significant improvements in their comfort and health. Reduced itching, better skin and coat health, and fewer gastrointestinal issues are common benefits. Regular monitoring and adjustments can help manage your dog's allergies over the long term, preventing flare-ups and maintaining a higher quality of life.
