At-home allergy testing is important for any dog owner who has their dog’s best interest at heart as it can make managing allergies easier and provide allergy mitigation strategies that can result in happier and healthier dogs. This DNA test can be used in the comfort of your own home and covers more than 110 allergens, including the most common allergens chicken, beef, wheat/grains, grasses, seeds, pollens, fleas/ticks, dust etc.
Our dog allergy test is a very useful and affordable tool to determine the sensitivities and intolerances that may be impacting your dog’s quality of life. Problems with such uncomfortable sensitivities are the #2 reason for visiting the vet. This test will provide you with a list of the allergens that are potentially making your dog unhappy or triggering reactions. The results provide information about foods and supplements that would be of potential benefit if eliminated from the dog’s diet plus a guide as to what household products, food, treats and supplements can be beneficial for your dog or for which they show no reaction to.
You will also have detailed information about the allergens your dog tested positive for and include dietary and lifestyle guidelines such as the use of corticosteroids, elimination diets, topical treatments, supplements; like probiotics and Omega-3 oils- and much more.
What causes allergies?
Common environmental allergens are found everywhere and food allergens will be often found across many dog food brands – for the canine sufferer, their life can be rendered miserable, resulting in very poor health, a lack of energy, mood changes etc.
Common environmental triggers include fleas and dust mites as well as moulds and pollens from trees, grasses, weeds and flowers. Reactions are caused by an overactive immune system that perceives harmless substances as threats. This will trigger reactions which can include common symptoms such as itching and sneezing.
Over 110 allergens tested with this test, the intolerance level of the dog to each allergen is ranked in one of three ways:
1. Strong Intolerance – positive for the allergen tested
2.No Intolerance – negative for the allergen tested
3. Mild Intolerance – be reacting to the allergen but levels are not high enough for a positive reading.

DNA My Dog Allergy Test is designed to offer you an easy and affordable tool that will help you get to the bottom of your dog’s food and environmental sensitivities. This is not a test of the true allergens, which are rare. It is a test of the proteins in your dog that will react to the allergens being tested if your dog is sensitive to them. The test will offer you a complete report on everything your dog may be reactive to, so you can alter their food or environmental exposure.
