Can I purchase an at-home allergy test for my pet?

At this time, there is no reliable at-home allergy test on the market. While they are available (using your pet’s hair or saliva), they are not validated nor tested against conventional allergy tests. Most importantly, they don’t provide you an accurate diagnosis nor with a solution for long-term allergy management. 

For food allergies, unfortunately, no blood, hair or saliva test has been shown to reliability diagnosis adverse food reactions. Currently, the only reliable diagnostic test for food allergies is an elimination diet trial.
