🌿 The best way to treat an allergy is to remove it from the environment, or by avoiding exposure to it, however, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.

There are a variety of treatments options to help soothe allergy symptoms in pets, including:
💊 Oral medications that can be given daily or only as needed
💉 Monthly anti-itch injections (𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺)
🧼 Medicated shampoos that remove topical infection & allergens from the skin
🧴 Topical conditioners to help repair the skin barrier from the outside
🐟 Omega-3 fatty acids to help repair the skin barrier from the inside

For really difficult to manage cases, or for clients that are interested in a more long-term resolution, referral to a veterinary dermatologist is possible and can be arranged. 👩🏼‍⚕️

A veterinary dermatologist clinic can offer:
🔬 Skin testing to determine the exact environmental allergens your pet is
allergic to
💉 Formulate immunotherapy injections that, when given over time, can
significantly reduce, or even eliminate, the allergic response to the allergen

Have your pet's allergy symptoms increased already this Spring? Book an appointment to discuss how we can help keep them comfortable and itch-free. 💚

Meet the Team Mondays ~ with Dr Shannon 🩺

‍👩🏻‍⚕️ Growing up, Shannon always dreamed of becoming a vet, and in 2024, that dream became a reality! She began her career at a large veterinary hospital in Brisbane, gaining experience in general practice, hospital care and emergency medicine.

💊 With a particular interest in internal medicine and preventative care, Shannon loves the variety and evolving nature of veterinary work, diagnosing and treating different conditions, and building relationships with our clients and their pets.

After making the tree change from Queensland, Shannon now calls the Hunter Valley home and loves working in general practice alongside our amazing team!

🐱 At home, she has a fluffy ginger rescue cat named Peanut (pictured here), who she adopted from the Townsville pound during university, as well as two pet rats, Starsqueak and Sesame! 🐀🐀

When she’s not at the clinic, Dr Shannon enjoys exploring the local area, going camping, and finding a new recipe to try out 🏕️🍴

Be sure to say hello to Dr Shannon next time you see her at the clinic and perhaps share your favourite recipe recommendation! 🙂

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲? 🤔

Food allergies can be one of the more challenging allergies to diagnose in our pets. In fact, true food allergies account for only around 10-20% of allergic dogs - but they need to be ruled out before environmental allergies can be confidently diagnosed.

🔎 So, how do we diagnose a food allergy?
An Elimination Diet Trial is the only reliable way to diagnose a food allergy. Blood tests and other forms of allergy testing are not accurate enough or validated for diagnosing food allergies.

A diet trial uses either:
🥩 A novel protein - something your pet has never eaten before
🔬 Or, more commonly, a hydrolysed protein prescription diet

Hydrolysed proteins are broken down into much smaller pieces, making them easier to digest and less likely to trigger an allergic reaction. In most cases, these diets give us the clearest answers.

The important part: the diet must be fed exclusively for at least 8–12 weeks.
That means absolutely NOTHING ELSE, as even a small amount of another food can interfere with the results of the trial. This means no:
🚫 Treats
🚫 Human food
🚫 Flavoured medications
🚫 Sneaky bites from another pet's bowl

If a food allergy is diagnosed, your vet will discuss long-term feeding options for your pet, including carefully challenging them to narrow down their specific allergy, and how to manage flare-ups if they manage to sneak a bite of a reactive food!
