Dogs and cats can be allergic to almost anything, much like people. Pets may develop allergies to environmental factors inside or outside the home, as well as certain foods. Symptoms can range from itchiness, ear or eye infections, and constant licking to vomiting or diarrhea. Many pets suffer from allergies, which can significantly impact their quality of life and that of their owners.
To help diagnose environmental allergies, we offer the IDEXX California Regional Allergy Panel, a specialized test that identifies allergens specific to our region. This test screens for a variety of common environmental triggers, such as pollen, mold, dust mites, and grasses. Based on the results, we can determine if immunotherapy—a tailored allergy treatment—may help your pet manage their symptoms effectively.
For more complex cases, we can also arrange a referral to a veterinary dermatologist for advanced care and treatment options. Our goal is to ensure that your pet receives the best possible support to improve their comfort and quality of life.
