Key Features of the Dog Allergy Test
Why Should You Have Your Dog Allergy Tested?
It is essential to determine if your dog suffers from any allergies that could affect both its health and quality of life. Allergies differ from sensitivities or intolerances; allergens cause a reaction in the body because the immune system identifies them as threats and activates the production of IgE antibodies. These antibodies can lead to various symptoms, ranging from reddening of the skin to life-threatening respiratory problems in your furry friend.
We strongly recommend performing the New Dog Allergy Test as part of your pet’s general health check-up or if your dog exhibits symptoms such as excessive licking, itchy skin with redness, inflammation, or a rough texture; hair loss; watery eyes, sneezing, or coughing; recurrent gastrointestinal problems; presence of vomiting or diarrhoea of unknown origin; and, if your pet has experienced frequent ear infections or constantly shakes its head.
This is NOT an Intolerance Test!
It is important to understand that this test is an actual allergy test and NOT an intolerance test.
◉ The results of the intolerance test will change over time depending on the diet of the dog and environmental conditions. Therefore, remedies and diets can change over time.
◉ The results of the allergy test are more permanent and potentially serious, and the results need to be addressed in a different manner. So monitoring a pet with an allergy is very important.
◉ The price of the allergy test will always be higher than an intolerance test even though less allergens are tested.
We recommend you familiarise well with the test you are ordering.

Each allergen has unique components and characteristics, and a dog’s reaction to an allergen may not necessarily equate to sensitivity to its subsets.

Reactions can be managed by avoiding the allergens which trigger them. For example, if your pet has a sensitivity to a particular food item then eliminating this from their diet will help to avoid the negative impact. It is also possible to manage food allergies through the use of medication or medicated shampoos – however, many times,such treatments only mask a problem without finding the root cause. Also, since more than one allergen may be causing negative reactions in your dog, this may require more than action to eliminate all discomfort and reactions. We strongly advocate involving your vet in all decisions regarding what actions to take.
