The dangers of hair and saliva allergy tests

Have you ever wanted to just find a quick and easy way to test your pet for allergies that didn’t require going to the veterinarian?

Don’t worry, you’re not alone — plenty of pet owners are in the same boat, which is why there is an ever-growing number of allergy tests coming out on the market, some of which only require you to pluck a few hairs or collect some saliva from your pet.

Unfortunately, these tests haven’t proven to be accurate — some will give you the same results whether your pet is allergic, not allergic, or even a stuffed animal! Please click here to watch a quick and informative video about why these tests should not be trusted, and why you shouldn’t wast your money on them.

If you want to pursue allergy testing, please do so under the guidance of a veterinarian, ideally a board-certified veterinary dermatologist.
