Allergies

Pet allergies are exceedingly common!
‍
Dog and cat allergies are a genetic and frustrating recurring problem for both them and their owners. We often associate allergies to food or environment (termed atopy); in reality, many patients have a combination of both.

A consultation with one of our doctors can help set up comprehensive strategies to mitigate triggers, manage symptoms, and treat outbreaks if and when they occur. We see allergic pet disease every day and have lots of experience and tools to help keep them comfortable and prevent secondary problems.

Strategies often used:

• Hypoallergenic diet trial
• Itch management
• Infection management - topical and oral treatments
• External parasite control
• Immunotherapy
• Referral for advanced testing if needed
