Dr. Michael Good, Dr. Michele Stewart and Dr. Dwight Alleyne are working to make allergy testing in pets more accessible to pet owners by offering discounted services in the month of March.

Pets may suffer from both environmental allergens, such as those triggered by pollen, as well as food allergies. Pets may also develop food allergies over time to specific ingredients in their pet food. According to Dr. Stewart, two common triggers are the protein structures in dairy and wheat.
"With food allergies, a small hypersensitivity may occur each time the animal is exposed to this specific ingredient," said Dr. Stewart. "Over time, the immune system mounts a full-blown response, which is manifest by itching skin, chronic skin infections and diarrhea. If pet food allergies are suspected, we work closely with pet owners to create an 'elimination' diet for the pet. This allows us to slowly eliminate suspected triggers until the allergen is found. As a , I may also recommend an alternative protein and carbohydrate source, such as venison and sweet potato."
Dr. Alleyne stressed that prompt testing, diagnosis and treatment is essential to the successful management of pet allergies.
"Without treatment, pets will continue licking and scratching their skin, leaving it susceptible to a secondary infection," said Dr. Alleyne. "Odor, red bumps and dander on the skin are all signs of a secondary infection."
