Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy
A course for veterinarians
QUESTION:
DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH ALLERGY TESTS?
As a veterinary dermatologist, I receive questions every single day from primary care veterinarians who are curious about what test to do and when.
I created this course to help answer those questions – and then some! You will learn so much about the diagnostic process and value of allergy tests – and immunotherapy – in your practice. There is a lot of new information out there; this course covers it all!
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Allergy testing and Immunotherapy is a 6-hour RACE approved (#20-1118926) course geared toward primary care veterinarians who are interested in learning more about diagnosis, testing, and allergen-specific immunotherapy. This course will be useful for any veterinarian who sees allergic dogs and cats!

COURSE PREVIEW
Allergies are hard. Knowing what test to do and when is harder.
I take a very practical approach to reviewing allergic disease in dogs and cats in this course. I outline how we make an accurate diagnosis, how we employ allergy tests in that process, and how immunotherapy is used for patients with allergic disease.
The allergy testing space is changing rapidly. And, it is important for veterinarians to stay up-to-date and know how to talk about this important subject with pet owners. This course reviews all that, and even provides you with free handouts to use in your clinic!
COURSE CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
Here we review the basics of diagnosis. It is fundamental that we all know how to make an accurate diagnosis of canine atopic dermatitis. Start here!
BASIC SCIENCE
I review hypersensitivity reactions, allergic pathogenesis, and other nerdy details in this section. This is practical and fun.
ALLERGY TESTING OPTIONS
We review serology testing and intradermal testing at length. When, why, and how these tests are done to make sure there is an optimal patient outcome.
IMMUNOTHERAPY OPTIONS
We review allergen-specific immunotherapy options including sublingual and subcutaneous immunotherapy. This is practical and super informative!
PITFALLS
We talk about common mistakes and missteps that occur with allergy testing and immunotherapy. There is a large emphasis on how to talk with pet owners about this all.
