What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or breathing trouble around pets or other animals. It checks whether your immune system reacts to common animal allergens like cat, dog, and other pet dander. It's a helpful first step if you suspect an animal in your home or workplace might be triggering your symptoms.

How should I prepare for this test?

How can you naturally reduce animal allergy symptoms? Keeping pets out of your bedroom, vacuuming frequently with a HEPA filter, washing your hands after contact, and bathing pets regularly can all reduce allergen exposure. Air purifiers and keeping windows closed during high pollen times can also help lower your overall allergy burden. These steps won't eliminate sensitivity, but they can reduce how often symptoms flare up.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks your blood for specific antibodies your immune system makes in response to different animal allergens. Each antibody level reflects how sensitized your body is to a particular animal, which helps narrow down which pet or animal exposure might be behind your symptoms. Testing several animals at once saves you from guessing which one is the culprit.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each allergen's normal range clearly explained, so you can see exactly which ones (if any) triggered a reaction. If a value comes back elevated, simple next steps include reducing contact with that animal, using air filters, or washing hands and clothes after contact, and retesting later if you change your environment. If symptoms are severe, such as trouble breathing, seek medical care right away. You can download the full lab report from your account and track any changes over time using the trends feature.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. You'll get a notification once your report is available in your account, where you can view each allergen result along with what it means. No need to call or wait on hold — everything is accessible online as soon as it's ready.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who notices sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, skin hives, or wheezing around animals should consider this test. It's especially useful for people thinking about getting a pet, moving into a new home with prior animal residents, or those with unexplained respiratory or skin symptoms. It's also helpful if skin testing isn't practical or you're currently on medications that could interfere with skin testing.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or red eyes, coughing, wheezing, and skin reactions like hives or eczema flare-ups after being near animals. Some people also notice symptoms getting worse specifically at homes with pets or in places like barns or stables. If these symptoms show up consistently around animals, this test can help confirm a pattern.

What does high animal-specific IgE mean?

A high result for a specific animal allergen means your immune system has developed antibodies against that allergen and you're sensitized to it. This doesn't automatically mean you'll have symptoms every time you're exposed, but it does raise the odds. Reducing contact with that animal and monitoring your symptoms is a reasonable next step.

What causes high animal allergen sensitivity?

Sensitization usually develops after repeated exposure to an animal's dander, saliva, or urine proteins, which your immune system mistakenly treats as a threat. Genetics play a role too — people with a family history of allergies, asthma, or eczema are more likely to develop animal sensitivities. Early and frequent exposure, especially in childhood, can also influence whether sensitization develops.

How often should I retest?

If you've reduced exposure to a specific animal or made lifestyle changes to manage symptoms, retesting after 6-12 months can help you track whether sensitization levels have changed. If symptoms remain stable and manageable, yearly testing is usually enough. Retest sooner if you get a new pet or move somewhere with different animal exposure.
