Allergies can cause severely itchy skin in pets. There are four main allergies that affect dogs and cats, including flea allergy, airborne allergy (called atopy), food allergy and contact allergy.
Using basic medical diagnostics, physical examination and a thorough medical and environmental history, our doctors determine the allergy that is most likely affecting your pet.Depending on the diagnosis, our doctors will make specific recommendations for treating your pet which may include avoidance of certain foods, environments, or surfaces as well as specific flea control measures. They may recommend hyposensitization (allergy) shots in the case of atopy to help improve your pet's signs.
