Evaluation and treatment for allergic reactions to cats, dogs, and other animals.

What is Pet Allergies?

Do you notice sneezing, itchy eyes, or breathing symptoms around animals? Pet Allergies should be evaluated by an Allergy & Immunology provider.

Pet allergies occur when the immune system reacts to proteins found in an animal’s skin flakes, saliva, or urine. Cats and dogs are common triggers, but other animals may also cause symptoms.

Common Symptoms

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Nasal congestion
• Coughing or wheezing
• Skin reactions after animal contact

When to see an Allergy & Immunology provider
