A little behind the scenes look at how we read intradermal allergy tests.

This particular allergy test was on a little Welsh Pony who has equine asthma. She had lots of positive results, including cotton, a mix of pollen and even cats!

Want to start immunotherapy for your itchy pet but don't have access to a Specialist Veterinary Dermatologist? Meet RASH Immune, the way to start treating the cause of itching wherever you are in the country.

Our Specialist Veterinary Dermatologist, Helen, has been managing itchy dogs, cats, horses, and the occasional zoo animal around the country for the past 10 years. During this time, we've noticed two things:
1. There's still so much of the country that doesn't have easy access to specialist care.
2. How life-changing immunotherapy has been for some of these pets and their families.

RASH Immune means immunotherapy can be sent to your regular vet clinic after a simple blood allergy test. Your local veterinary team will continue to manage your pet's care with an option for specialist input if needed.

Talk with your local vet today to get started on the immunotherapy journey.

Just some of the allergens a patient reacted to on a recent intradermal allergy test.

Now you might be thinking "Humans?! How on earth do we avoid human?" And that's where immunotherapy comes in.

Allergy testing, either intradermal or by a blood test, should only be used when you are able to commit to immunotherapy. This is because, while it might be nice to know what things are causing the itching, they are unavoidable in everyday life.

Stay tuned this week as we discuss immunotherapy and how it can be life changing for pets with skin disease

Sun production is just as important for our pets as it is for us, especially if those pets are white.

This absolute sweetheart loves to lounge in the sun but overtime this has caused damage to her skin. Alongside her dedicated owners, we're working hard to manage some skin changes caused by solar dermatitis.

Starting sun protection early for white pets can help to prevent these changes from occurring. Some good sun smart rules are;
💚 Wearing a protective sunsuit while out and about. Bromelli sun suits for Dogs have fantastic options.
💚 Staying out of the sun during the high UV periods. That often means early morning and late night walks.
💚 Sun creams like the Dermoscent range that is especially designed for animals.
💚 Keeping indoor beds out of the sun because skin damage can happen through the windows.

Yes these rules still apply now it's winter.
