Animal Dander Allergy Tests

Animal dander allergy occurs when your immune system makes IgE antibodies to proteins from pets and other animals—most often cats, dogs, rodents (mouse/rat), rabbits, horses, and some birds. These proteins ride on skin flakes (dander), saliva, and urine and can persist indoors long after an animal leaves. A proactive plan starts with allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) blood tests to likely culprits (cat/dog) and expands to other animals based on exposure (home, school/lab, farm/stables). When results or history are mixed, component-resolved diagnostics (CRD)—for example,

What are Pet Allergies?

Pet allergies are often associated with the hair and fur that make our fluffy friends so adorable. This is not the case! Pet allergies are a reaction due to animal skin cells, saliva, and urine, which contain a specific protein that causes us to sniffle. 

Dead flakes of skin called dander cause most allergic reactions. You can have allergic reactions to all sorts of animals, but cats and dogs are the most common, most likely because they are the most common animals we interact with. 

Our immune system plays a critical role in keeping us healthy and alive. Its ... See more
