Allergy Testing & Treatment Near Village of Pinecrest, FL

Signs Allergies Are Behind Chronic Itching

Chronic itching is persistent scratching, licking, or chewing that continues for weeks or months rather than resolving on its own. Hot spots are localized areas of red, moist, inflamed skin that develop quickly, often on paws, ears, belly, or the base of the tail.

Skin infections that keep coming back despite antibiotics or medicated shampoo are a strong signal the underlying allergy hasn't been addressed. If your dog is chewing at their paws nightly or seems uncomfortable in their own skin, that's what our doctors look for before recommending allergy shots.

From Allergy Testing to a Custom Treatment Plan

Allergy shots begin with an accurate diagnosis, not a guess. Our care team evaluates the pattern and severity of your pet's symptoms and coordinates allergy testing to identify the specific environmental allergens triggering the reaction, like pollens, grasses, molds, dust mites, and dander.

Once allergens are identified, a compounding pharmacy formulates a custom immunotherapy serum unique to your pet's test results. The induction phase involves more frequent injections at gradually increasing concentrations, then moves to a maintenance phase with less frequent injections, often given at home once you're comfortable with the technique.
