Canine Allergy Testing
Serum-based testing options for suspected canine atopy, seasonal itch, and environmental allergy planning.
Veterinary Allergy Testing
Submit canine allergy testing, feline allergy panels, and allergy testing for other species through B&L when a case needs environmental, food-related, or serum-based testing support.
Allergy Testing for Dogs, Cats, and Other Species
Feline Allergy Testing
Cat allergy test support when history, exam findings, and response to treatment point to allergy workup.
Food-Related Allergy Panels
Canine food allergy testing support to pair with history, diet trials, and long-term nutrition planning.
Specimen and Lab Coordination
Confirm sample type, handling, pickup, or shipping before your team collects and submits the sample.
Dog and Cat Allergy Panels
Canine and feline panels when you need results that fit the history, exam, and next step.
Environmental Allergy Testing
Serum IgE testing for environmental allergy triggers and support for allergen-specific immunotherapy cases.
When Allergy Testing Helps the Case Plan
Veterinary allergy testing fits best when exam findings, history, and response to treatment point toward a longer dermatology or nutrition plan. B&L can help practices confirm which allergy panel, sample type, or testing path fits the case.
- 1
A dog needs allergy testing for chronic itch or suspected atopy.
- 2
A cat needs allergy testing support after exam and history review.
- 3
A case needs environmental allergy testing for long-term planning.
- 4
Food-related allergy testing is being considered with diet history.
- 5
The practice needs help confirming serum, handling, or shipping.
How to Use Allergy Testing Alongside History and Diet Trials
Serum allergy testing identifies allergens for immunotherapy; it is not a standalone diagnosis of allergic disease.
Rule out other causes first
Address parasites, secondary infections, and other causes of itch before testing, so results reflect true environmental sensitivities.
Diagnose atopy clinically
Atopic dermatitis is a clinical diagnosis based on history, signalment, and lesion pattern. Testing selects allergens; it does not confirm the disease.
Use a diet trial for food
Serum panels do not replace an elimination diet. Confirm food reactions with a strict diet trial and rechallenge before changing nutrition long term.
Guide immunotherapy
Positive results help formulate allergen-specific immunotherapy and inform environmental avoidance for chronic, seasonal, or recurrent cases.
