About Your Pet’s Visit for Allergy Symptoms

During your visit, we will evaluate your pet’s medical history and discuss the associated symptoms, with consideration to their lifestyle and environment. In addition to food allergy trials, we can perform a skin scraping, culture, cytology, and biopsy if necessary to diagnose the specific condition. Once a diagnosis is made, we can discuss treatment options to alleviate your pet’s symptoms, which may even include a diet change.
