Allergy Testing at the Veterinarian

INTRADERMAL TESTING

Only performed by Veterinary Dermatologists

    • Typically considered to be the most accurate method

    • Measuring an immune system response

    • Performed by injecting small quantities of allergens into the dog/cat skin

    • Pet must be unconscious during the test

    • Hair must be shaved

    • By examining the visible skin reactions at each injection site, a dermatologist can determine which allergens exist

    • May need to stop medications for up to 2 weeks before testing is scheduled

    • Females should not be tested if pregnant or in heat

    • Pets should be tested at the end of their allergy season (typically in the fall)

    • No baths should be given in the five days before testing

    • Pets must be fasted the morning of the procedure (to allow for safe sedation)

BLOOD TESTING

Only performed by a Veterinarian

    • The laboratory tests the blood, looking for allergen-specific antibodies (IgE) against a number of allergens

    • Measuring an immune system response

    • Can easily be collected during a routine wellness visit

    • Does not require pets to go off of their medication prior to testing

    • Does have a tendency to have false positives – may require Intradermal Testing to be done also
