Collection: Allergy testing
Welcome to Our Comprehensive Allergy Testing Services
We offer a complete selection of allergy tests for animals, focusing on insect, environmental, and food allergens. All tests are based on IgE-specific detection, eliminating false positives from IgG or carbohydrate-related cross-reactions (CCDs). Results are expressed using the HERBU scoring system, providing clear and clinically relevant interpretation of allergen sensitivity.
Our aim is to accurately identify the causes of allergic symptoms in horses, dogs, and cats, allowing us to develop effective, individualized treatment and management strategies.
Non-Invasive Testing
Our testing methods are non-invasive and prioritize the comfort of your animal. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we evaluate allergic sensitivities to develop a personalized and effective management plan.
Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT)
When specific allergens are identified, Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) may be recommended. This treatment works by gradually desensitizing your animal to the allergens, aiming to reduce symptoms over time.
- Clinical Success: Approximately 80% of animals undergoing ASIT show significant improvement after the first course. Continued treatment is often essential to maintain results, as symptoms may recur if therapy is stopped.
- Tailored Treatment : Each ASIT formula is customized based on the individual allergen profile, ensuring targeted and precise therapy.
Our mission is to support a healthier, more comfortable life for your animal by addressing the root causes of their allergies. For further information or to book a consultation, please contact us.
