Got a patient with atopy? Three options you may want to give a shot

Article

Help those itchy veterinary patients with these immunotherapy options.

There's a variety of options out there when it comes to treating itchy pets-shampoos, ointments and pills-oh my! But what about your veterinary clients who opt for the desensitization option of allergen-specific immunotherapy? Check out these three options you can try with your veterinary patients.

Allercept Therapy Shots

Allergy Treatment Shots from Heska are indicated as an aid in alleviating clinical signs associated with allergic disease in dogs, cats and horses.

The drops were formulated with proprietary technology and developed through years of trials. They have been found effective in treating pets that failed to respond to allergy shots and can be used on dogs that had prior anaphylactic reactions to allergy shots.

IDEXX also offers sublingual immunotherapy with GREER Aller-g-complete Drops to give patients and clients an alternative to injection therapy.
