Animals, like humans, can develop allergies to many things.

An allergy develops when the immune system becomes overly sensitive to a specific substance called an allergen. Scratching, swollen paws, scabbed skin, sneezing, and runny eyes are some of the symptoms that your pet may exhibit when exposed to an allergen. If ignored, these symptoms can get worse and dramatically affect your pet’s quality of life. Pets can develop allergies to virtually anything, including pollen, food or even the pet shampoo you use. There are numerous ways to treat these different types of allergies. If your pet is allergic to something in their current diet, simply changing their food may be the solution you’re looking for. Other allergic reactions may be more difficult to treat. Environmental allergies, for example, may call for a more involved treatment plan including medications, bathing, a thorough cleaning of the environment, or allergy shots. We provide a range of allergy testing and treatment services in Fort Myers and are here to help give your pet a comfortable life.

Common Allergy Tests for Pets

Allergy testing can help to alleviate your pet’s stress by identifying the source of their allergic reaction. To avoid confusion, make sure to only test for one type of allergen at a time. When performing allergy testing on your pet, having advice from a veterinarian is always important. Common allergy testing for pets can include:

Using combs to check for evidence of fleas

Swapping their food to one without common allergens

Scheduling a blood test

Scheduling an intradermal skin test

Make sure to always consult a veterinarian before choosing any allergy treatments for your pets. Many treatments are specifically formulated for the size and breed of your pet. These can be dangerous if not administered correctly.
