Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions, we've got answers.
How is this different from the Pet Intolerance Test?

The Intolerance Test uses a hair sample. The Allergy Test measures allergen-specific IgE antibodies in a few drops of blood, the same marker veterinarians use to diagnose true allergies.

How accurate is an at-home dog allergy test vs. testing at a vet's office?

Your sample is analyzed by an accredited laboratory using allergen-specific IgE testing, the same method used in veterinary allergy workups.

Is this for dogs or cats?

Both. The same kit and panels work for dogs and cats. This page covers dogs. Looking for the cat version? See the allergy test for cats.

Does collecting the sample hurt my dog?

The kit includes a lancet, a small pinprick tool. It takes a few drops of blood on a collection card and is over in seconds.

How long do results take?

Results are posted to your online account within 10 business days after your sample reaches our lab. We email you when they're ready.

How much does a dog allergy test cost?

The TotalVet Dog Allergy Test costs $174.99 for Panel 1 or Panel 2 and $229.99 for the Complete Panel. Return postage is not included, but a single forever stamp is all you need.

Can you allergy test a dog at home?

Yes. Register your kit ID online, collect a few drops of blood with the included lancet, and mail the card to our lab. You collect the sample at home. No vet needed.

Can medication change my dog's results?

Yes. Corticosteroids and antihistamines can affect results. Ask your vet before you collect a sample, and don't stop any medication on your own.
