Dog Allergy Care in Dalton

At Dalton Veterinary Practice & Kitty Korner, we can get to the root of what’s causing symptoms and develop a treatment plan for your dog. A thorough diagnostic work up allows us to find out precisely what’s bothering your dog. We will run a number of tests, eliminating each possibility until we’ve achieved the answers we’re looking for. This may involve routine blood work, or it could require something more in-depth, such as a biopsy.

In some instances, we can get the problem under control by making a few simple changes to your dog’s lifestyle. For instance, a food allergy can typically be overcome by switching your pet’s diet. We will tailor our approach to address your companion’s unique needs for optimum results.
