Animal & Pet Allergy Test Panel
Allergic reactions to animals are more common than many people realise, often triggered by proteins found in skin flakes, saliva or dander. Our Pet & Animal Allergy Test Panel helps identify whether animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits or horses may be contributing to your symptoms. Using a simple blood test, we can measure your IgE levels against a range of animal allergens and help guide your next steps.
Who Is This For?
This test is suitable for anyone experiencing symptoms around animals, including sneezing, coughing, wheezing, skin irritation or itchy eyes. It is also useful for people living with pets, working with animals or planning to bring one into the home.
