Finding the Cause of the Itch

Allergy testing is most effective when used alongside a full clinical work-up. Intradermal testing is considered the gold standard for environmental allergies, while food allergies are best identified through an elimination diet.

Immunotherapy involves giving your pet regular doses of the allergens they react to normalise their immune response. It is safe and effective, and the goal is to reduce the need for other medication.

Immunotherapy has a slow onset of action which can be up to 12 months. This is why a commitment of 12 months is necessary, and if effective, treatment will most likely be continued for the patient’s lifetime.

Allergies cannot be cured, but they can be managed. Our treatment plans will be tailored to each pet’s specific needs to control their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
