We have a variety of treatment options available for allergies. You can learn more about our recommendations below, though we will make a specific recommendation and treatment plan on a case by case basis. Our allergy treatment plans will be perfectly tailored for your pet!
Not seeing results?
If you’ve tried home remedies, over-the-counter medications, shampoos, lotions, or other medications that are not providing relief, our team will be here to help. We’d like to introduce you to the options below.
Allergy Testing
This is a blood lab test that will test for environmental and food allergies. We will send this out to a lab for the most accurate results. If a pet is positive for any allergy, oral medication can be made to treat that pet’s specific allergies.
Food Trials
If there is a concern that your pet might have a food allergy, we may recommend a food trial as a good starting place. All of our food is satisfaction guaranteed with a full refund if you are unhappy with the product or results.
New Treatment Options
Apoquel
An oral non-steroidal long term medication that works differently than other medications as it goes right to the source to stop the itch and relieve inflammation.
Cytopoint
This is an injection given every 4-8 weeks, as needed. It works like your dog’s immune system, containing antibodies that specifically target and neutralize proteins that send itch signals.
We know the discomfort allergies cause.
We know the constant licking and chewing creates unhappy pets and concerned parents. We’re here to help your pet feel relief!
