Effective Relief for Itching, Skin Irritation, & Environmental Allergies
Allergies are one of the most common medical issues affecting dogs and cats. From itchy skin and constant licking to chronic ear infections and digestive upset, allergy symptoms can significantly impact your pet’s comfort and quality of life. At McClure Veterinary Clinic in Ozark, MO, we offer comprehensive allergy testing and personalized treatment plans to help identify the root cause of your pet’s symptoms and provide long-lasting relief.
Pet allergies can be triggered by environmental allergens, seasonal factors, food sensitivities, fleas, and more. Accurate testing allows us to pinpoint these triggers and develop the most effective treatment strategy for your pet.
Advanced Allergy Testing for Dogs & Cats
Our clinic provides veterinary allergy testing designed to identify the allergens affecting your pet.
Here’s how the process works:
We take a small blood sample from your pet during their visit. This test is safe, quick, and well-tolerated by both dogs and cats.
Your pet’s blood sample is sent to a trusted reference laboratory specializing in veterinary allergies.
The lab screens for environmental allergens, including:
Pollen
Dust mites
Grasses
Trees
Mold spores
Flea saliva proteins
Other regional allergens common in Missouri
Results typically return in about two weeks.
Once we receive the results, our veterinary team reviews them with you and recommends the most effective treatment options. These may include:
Allergen-specific immunotherapy (allergy shots or oral drops)
Antihistamines
Corticosteroid therapy
Cytopoint injections
Apoquel
Flea allergy management
Hypoallergenic diets
- Zenrelia
Medicated shampoos or topical treatments
Our goal is to provide targeted relief, reduce flare-ups, and help your pet live a more comfortable, itch-free life.
