What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy skin, watery eyes, or breathing trouble around dogs and want to know if a dog allergy could be the cause. It checks for a specific antibody your immune system makes when it reacts to dog serum albumin, a protein found in dog dander, saliva, and skin. This is especially useful if you suspect your symptoms flare up after petting, being licked by, or spending time in a home with a dog.

What's included in this test?

This test measures one specific marker: IgE antibodies against dog serum albumin, a protein found in dog dander, skin flakes, and saliva. Checking this single marker matters because it tells you whether your immune system has become sensitized specifically to dogs, rather than a general allergy trigger, helping you pinpoint the source of your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a normal versus elevated value means for this allergen. If your result comes back positive, practical next steps include reducing direct contact with dogs, washing hands after contact, and using air filters to cut down on dander in your home. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you test again later you can track changes in your sensitization level over time using the trends feature.

How can I naturally support my immune response to allergens?

Reducing overall exposure is one of the most effective natural strategies, such as keeping dogs out of bedrooms, using HEPA air filters, and washing bedding frequently. Regular exercise, good sleep, and a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help support a balanced immune system. Nasal rinses with saline can also help clear allergens from your nasal passages after exposure.

When will I get my results?

Results for this test are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. Once processed, they'll be uploaded directly to your account, and you'll be notified so you can log in and review them right away.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with unexplained sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, or breathing difficulty that seems to happen around dogs. It's also useful for people considering getting a dog and wanting to check for sensitivity beforehand, or those who already have a dog and want to confirm whether it's contributing to ongoing symptoms.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or red eyes, hives or skin rash after contact with a dog, coughing, or wheezing. Symptoms that consistently appear or worsen after being near dogs, their bedding, or homes where dogs live are a strong signal this test could help.

What does a high (positive) result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has produced antibodies against dog serum albumin, indicating you're sensitized to this allergen. This doesn't automatically mean you have a full-blown allergy — it means your body is primed to react, and if you also experience symptoms around dogs, this test result helps confirm dogs may be the trigger.

What causes a positive dog allergen result?

A positive result happens when your immune system has been exposed to dog dander, saliva, or skin cells and mistakenly identifies dog serum albumin as a threat, producing antibodies against it. Repeated or prolonged exposure to dogs, especially in childhood or in enclosed spaces, can increase the likelihood of developing this sensitization.

How often should I retest?

There's usually no need to retest often unless your symptoms change significantly or you want to check if sensitization levels have shifted after reducing exposure. Many people retest once a year or if new pet-related symptoms develop, especially after moving to a new home or getting a new pet.
