Animals, like humans, can have allergies to a variety of things.

An allergy develops when the immune system becomes overly sensitive to a specific substance, or allergen. Scratching, swollen paws, scabbed skin, sneezing, and runny eyes are all symptoms that your pet may exhibit when exposed to an allergen. If ignored, these symptoms can get worse and dramatically affect your pet’s health and happiness.

Allergies in pets can develop to anything, including pollen and food. There are numerous ways to treat these allergies. If your pet is allergic to something in their current diet, simply changing their food may be the solution. Other allergic reactions may be more intense and difficult to treat. Environmental allergies, for example, may call for a different treatment plan. This might include medications, bathing, a thorough cleaning of the environment, or allergy shots. We provide a wide range of allergy testing and treatment services in Sarasota and are here to help your pet live the most comfortable life possible.

Common Allergy Tests for Pets

Allergy testing can aid in easing your pet’s stress by identifying the source of their allergic reaction. To avoid confusion, only test for one type of allergen at a time. When performing allergy testing on your pet, having guidance from a veterinarian is always a good idea.
Common allergy testing for pets can include:

Using combs to check for evidence of fleas

Scheduling an intradermal skin test

Swapping their food to one without common allergens

Scheduling a blood test

Make sure to always consult a veterinarian before choosing any allergy treatments for your pets. Many treatments are specifically formulated for a pet’s size and breed. These can be dangerous if administered improperly.
