    Dog And Cat Allergy Testing

    Part of caring for your pets is understanding what to protect them from. Keep your pets safe with Dr Wendy’s Mobile Vet Care’s dog and cat allergy testing services.

    Allergies affect a range of people and pets alike. Some pets aren’t affected by anything all while others die from an encounter with something that they’re allergic to.

    So it’s important to get them checked in a controlled environment.

    Dr Wendy’s Mobile Vet Care will bring the doctor’s office to you! Thanks to our commercial vehicles, we have all the necessary testing kits, and treatments needed to protect your pet from their allergies.

    What are the types of allergies cats and dogs can have?

    The most common types of allergies in pets are flea allergy, food allergy, and a condition called atopy. Atopy occurs when allergens are inhaled, or come in contact with the skin – leading to an allergic reaction.

    There are a wide variety of pollens, grasses, dander, insect proteins, molds, and even house dust can cause animals to develop atopy.

    And your pet might experience allergic reactions until they are no longer in contact with the source.

    Types of testing we offer

    We provide two main allergy testing approaches for your cat, and dog.

    First is the Intradermal skin testing method. First, we’ll shave your pet – usually on the abdomen. Then, using tiny needles we will gently inject a variety of allergens (in a small dose) into the skin in order to see if there is a reaction.

    Afterwards, we’ll check to assess the degree of allergic response that your pet has to the allergens. The outcome of the reaction will determine how dangerous a particular allergen will be and to what degree.

    Pets are monitored carefully during the procedure in case a serious reaction occurs and treatment is required.

    Another option is Serum allergy testing. With Serum allergy testing, our mobile vet will take a small sample of blood from your pet. We’ll then run some tests in our lab in order to discover the various allergies that they may have.

    Similarly, we’ll know which allergens cause a severe reaction, and which cause a mild reaction.

    Solutions

    In the instance of a severe allergy, we’ll provide you with an affordable solution that is sustainable, and that will protect your pet.

    There are a variety of allergy medications and treatments available. You can trust our mobile vet to make the right decision for your pet.

    Ultimately, you want to do what’s best for your pet, and so do we!

    Dr Wendy’s Mobile Vet Care provides professional cat and dog allergy testing services. Thanks to our commercial vehicle, we’ll bring the doctor’s office to you!

      Dr Wendy is compassionate and great with animals. She took care of my aging German shepherd very well. Towards the end having the home euthanasia was… the best thing for my my best pall when it was sadly time. I can’t recommend Dr Wendy Vet Care enough.read more

      We are very pleased to have found this vet care provider. Dr. Destinee has been wonderful with our cats. She was so caring and compassionate when… we had to euthanize our darling boy, and has been just as caring and compassionate with our elderly girl. We can tell it is more than a job for her; it is a calling. She listens carefully, she analyzes carefully, makes recommendations that are appropriate, and is very gentle with the patient.Thanks so much for what you have done and do for our cats.read more

      Unfortunately we had to make the difficult decision to have our elderly cat euthanized. The team from Dr Wendy Vet Care were wonderful, caring and… empathetic! Alysia was our first contact and she was lovely and helped to set up the appointment as well as giving us information on cremation services. On the day of our appointment, Dr Destinee was absolutely wonderful with our little Bubbles. I highly recommend these lovely ladies!read more

      My dogs have been patients of Dr. Wendy for more than 10 years and I couldn’t be happier about the services she provides. Dr. Wendy is kind,… friendly, and a pragmatic veterinarian. I’ve never felt pressured for unnecessary treatments, food or meds. She is honest, down to earth, and really cares about my dogs. And the in-home service she offers is convenient and eliminates the stress of an office visit for my old dogs. I highly recommend Dr. Wendy Vet Care.read more

      Dr. Destinee is such a calm and caring vet. She is super patient with my cats who can be a little anxious and fighty. Having a vet come to your home… instead of having to stress a cat out with a car ride is a blessing. Communication with the team is also amazing and prompt. 10/10 would recommend.read more
