Dog and Cat Allergy Examinations

When the symptoms of allergies are observed, our team will perform a number of allergy tests to help us identify the root cause of your pet’s condition. While some pets may show signs of allergies because of environmental allergies, some of the most common causes of this condition in pets is food allergies. We work with each pet and owner on an individual basis to help determine each pet’s needs.

Allergies are a highly individualized condition and often rigorous diagnosis is required to help us find and the root cause of your pet’s symptoms. When allergies are caused by certain foods, these foods can be eliminated to help your pet feel better, while environmental allergies often require medications to eliminate symptoms.
