Comprehensive Allergy Care

Like us, our four-legged family members are prone to pesky allergies and can suffer from various symptoms affecting their quality of life. At Dent County Veterinary Clinic, we believe in understanding, diagnosing, and effectively managing allergies to ensure your pet’s comfort and well-being.

Whether it’s a reaction to certain foods, environmental triggers like pollen or mold, or household products, our pets can show allergic responses to various culprits. Some common indicators of pet allergies include:

  • Excessive scratching or licking
  • Red or inflamed skin
  • Frequent ear infections
  • Sneezing or coughing
  • Watery eyes or nose

Customized Allergy Treatments

Once we’ve identified the root cause through pet allergy testing, a world of treatment options opens up:

Oral Medications

Drugs like Apoquel can significantly reduce itchiness and allergic reactions in many pets, giving them much-needed relief.

Non-Steroidal Injections

Products such as Cytopoint offer longer-term relief from itching without the need for daily medication.

Holistic Approaches

Sometimes, a natural touch is best. We offer supplements that can work wonders in managing certain allergies.

Laser Therapy

This innovative approach can soothe and treat skin conditions resulting from allergies, providing a non-invasive solution for persistent problems.
