Key Features of the Dog Allergy Test

Our dog sensitivity test – insightful yet affordable

Our dog allergy test is a very useful and affordable tool to determine the sensitivities and intolerances that may be impacting your dog’s quality of life. Problems with such uncomfortable sensitivities are the #2 reason for visiting the vet.

This test will provide you with a list of the allergens that are potentially making your dog unhappy or triggering reactions.

The results provide information about foods and supplements that would be of potential benefit if eliminated from the dog’s diet plus a guide as to what household products, food, treats and supplements can be beneficial for your dog or for which they show no reaction to. You will also have detailed information about the allergens your dog tested positive for and include dietary and lifestyle guidelines such as the use of corticosteroids, elimination diets, topical treatments, supplements; like probiotics and Omega-3 oils- and much more.

You can order the test and help improve the well-being of your beloved pet for only $104.

You can also order a Food Suggestion Report to supplement the results and provide a list of specific food brands and recipes you can incorporate in the dog’s diet for only $39.

What causes allergies?

Common environmental allergens are found everywhere and food allergens will be often found across many dog food brands – for the canine allergy sufferer, their life can be rendered miserable, resulting in very poor health, a lack of energy, mood changes etc. Common environmental triggers include fleas and dust mites as well as mold and pollen from trees, grass, weeds and flowers. Reactions are caused by an overactive immune system that perceives harmless substances as threats. This will trigger reactions which can include common symptoms such as itching and sneezing.

Over 120 allergens tested with this test

The dog's intolerance level for each allergen is ranked in one of three ways:

  • Strong Intolerance – positive for the allergen tested
  • No Intolerance – negative for the allergen tested
  • Mild Intolerance – be reacting to the allergen but levels are not high enough for a positive reading

Important notes:

  • The Dog Allergy test is not a DNA test. It is also not a typical allergy test. This test uses the proteins in the dog’s system to help you learn the sensitivities and intolerances your pet may be experiencing so you can have a better understanding of what they may not be able to tolerate. There are a number of options available to deal with these sensitivities. We recommend discussing them with your veterinarian to find the solution that is best for your pet. This can include introducing a new diet to your canine or eliminating certain foods and medications.

     

  • There are a number of different drugs and medications that can affect your test results and these include antihistamines and steroids. If the dog being tested is taking any of these, please do not collect the sample until they have been off them for a minimum of one week and up to 2 weeks.

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.
