What is the best course of therapy for my pet?

Your veterinarian is best qualified to discuss treatment options once it is determined that your pet is allergic. Avoidance of the allergens is preferred, but may not be practical or possible. Medications, including steroids and antihistamines may temporarily relieve symptoms, but are not recommended for prolonged use. Hyposensitization or immunotherapy is the most natural and safe way to control allergy problems.
