Dog Dander

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to dog dander, which consists of tiny skin flecks shed by dogs. It helps show if your immune system is overreacting to these proteins, which can cause symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or asthma. This information helps doctors determine if dogs are the specific cause of your symptoms rather than other triggers like pollen or dust. While the test detects sensitivity, it cannot predict exactly how severe your physical reaction will be when you are near a dog.
