Animal & Pet Allergies
Can I find out if I am allergic to my pets — and can I be treated for it?
Children and adults can have allergy and asthma symptoms from exposure to animals. Symptoms can include chronic runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, swelling of the eyes, repeated infections, sinus congestion, cough, wheezing and asthma.
Pets such as dogs and cats have an allergic protein that comes from their sweat glands. The pet hair then carries this allergic protein and gets on clothing, carpet, bedding, furniture, car upholstery, and more.
Testing & Treatment
Skin testing in the office can be done to determine if you are allergic to animals and a treatment plan can then be developed including allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots). We have the ability to test for dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils in our office.
