People aren't the only ones who suffer from allergies.
Just like us, our pets can develop allergies to a variety of things. An allergen causes the immune system to become overly sensitive, which leads to the onset of an allergy. Scratching, swollen paws, scabbed skin, sneezing, and runny eyes are a few indications that your pet may have been exposed to an allergen. These signs may worsen and significantly lower your pet’s quality of life if they are ignored.
Each animal has different needs when it comes to allergy treatment. Changing their diet or using a different shampoo could be all that is necessary. However, treatment may be more complicated if the allergen is environmental. It might involve taking medication, getting allergy shots, or completely removing the allergen from the environment. With this in mind, the first step in determining your pet’s treatment plan is to test them to see what they’re allergic to.

Common Allergy Tests for Pets
Allergy testing isn’t as difficult as it sounds, and it will give you a better idea of what’s bothering your pet. Make sure you only test for one kind of allergen at a time to prevent any confusion. Consult a veterinarian to ensure you’re taking the appropriate precautions when attempting to determine what your pet is allergic to. Common allergy testing for pets can include:
Scheduling an intradermal skin test
Swapping their food to one without common allergens
Using combs to check for evidence of fleas
Scheduling a blood test
Because most allergy treatments are tailored to the age and weight of your pet, always consult a veterinarian before selecting one. If not administered correctly, these can be very dangerous.
