Allergy Diagnosis and Management

Allergies are a common cause of skin and ear conditions in pets. Dogs and cats with allergies may scratch, chew, lick their paws, rub their face or have recurrent ear infections.

Three types of allergies are common in dogs and cats: food allergies, flea allergy dermatitis and atopic dermatitis (environmental allergies). We offer:

  • Intradermal and serologic allergy testing for atopic dermatitis
  • On-site, custom immunotherapy formulation for the treatment of atopic dermatitis

The Angell Pathology Laboratory is in the same building as our veterinary hospital and is staffed by two Board-Certified Veterinary Pathologists. Skin biopsies obtained by the Angell Dermatology Service are reviewed by your pet’s dermatologist and an Angell Pathologist.

The Angell Dermatology Service also diagnoses and manages a wide variety of other skin conditions such as infectious and noninfectious skin diseases, parasitic skin diseases, and skin manifestations of systemic diseases.
