Common Signs of Allergies in Pets

Allergies can show up in many different ways.

Signs to watch for include:

  • Persistent itching or scratching
  • Red, inflamed skin
  • Recurrent ear infections
  • Hair loss or thinning coat
  • Licking or chewing paws
  • Skin infections that keep returning

 

If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, early evaluation can help prevent worsening discomfort.

Advanced Allergy Testing for Dogs & Cats

As an experienced cat and canine allergist, we provide thorough testing to identify the specific triggers affecting your pet.

Testing may include:

  • Intradermal allergy testing
  • Elimination diet trials (for food allergies)
  • Skin and ear diagnostics

Identifying the cause allows us to move beyond temporary relief and create a long-term solution.

A Precise, Proven Diagnostic Tool

INTRADERMAL ALLERY TESTING

Intradermal allergy testing is one of the most accurate ways to identify environmental allergens affecting your pet.

During this procedure:

  • Small amounts of common allergens are introduced into the skin
  • Reactions are carefully observed and measured
  • Results help pinpoint specific triggers such as pollen, dust mites, or grasses
 

This information allows us to build a targeted, effective treatment plan.

Pet Allergies FAQs

Get the answers you need from our dermatology team.

Itching, redness, hair loss, or recurring rashes can all signal underlying dermatologic conditions. Early evaluation allows us to identify the cause—whether allergies, infections, or another condition—and begin treatment before the problem worsens.

Appointments begin with a detailed exam and review of your pet’s medical history. We may perform diagnostic tests such as skin scrapings, cultures, or allergy testing. Our team explains each step and creates a treatment plan tailored to your pet.

Prevention often involves addressing underlying causes such as allergies or hormonal conditions. We also provide guidance on home care, ear cleaning, medications, and environmental adjustments to help prevent recurrence.

Most dermatology procedures are minimally invasive. When necessary, we use sedation or gentle techniques to keep pets calm and comfortable while ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Some dermatologic conditions can be fully resolved, while others—such as environmental allergies—may require ongoing management. Our focus is on reducing flare-ups, improving comfort, and maintaining a high quality of life.

Results vary depending on the condition. Some pets improve within days, while chronic conditions may take several weeks of treatment and monitoring. We adjust treatment plans as needed to achieve the best outcome.

Because we are also a specialty hospital offering Emergency Care, Surgery, and Cancer Care, your pet has access to advanced care without referral delays.
