Pets get allergies

At Family Vet, we use Greer and Heska test labs to read and diagnose our patient's allergies. Both have useful information for pet owners, that can be used to supplement the information we provide during an exam. Have you wondered whether your pet is suffering? See these links to learn more about allergies, and then follow-up (if necessary) with an appointment with Dr. Chau to have some blood drawn. Just this past week, Dr. Chau received test results on a pet that were one of the highest she had seen since she began practicing (scoring over 3,000 on some allergens where the normal range was 0 to 150.) The poor dog (mixed-breed) was allergic to many things, including dust mites and weeds (so not just outdoor allergens but indoor as well.)
