What is Canine Atopic Dermatitis?

Canine Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory, and pruritic disease typically associated with increased IgE levels in the blood. However, some patients, such as French Bulldogs, may not exhibit these elevated IgE levels; these cases are classified as "atopic-like."

There is a high genetic predisposition to allergic dermopathies in certain breeds, including West Highland White Terriers, Labrador and Golden Retrievers, English and French Bulldogs, Border Collies, and American Staffordshire Terriers.

What is Immunotherapy?

Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) is a targeted treatment for allergic diseases and, according to the WHO, the only therapy capable of curing such conditions.

There are two treatment options: oral or subcutaneous administration. The goal of this therapy is to induce hyposensitization to the allergens responsible for canine atopic dermatitis.

What Does an Elimination Diet Involve?

An elimination diet is used when an adverse food reaction is suspected, often manifested through secondary skin lesions. To ensure accuracy, hydrolyzed or ultra-hydrolyzed diets should be used, which are only available in dry kibble or wet food formats.

Diets containing novel proteins, which are typically non-allergenic foods, are not recommended for a proper elimination diet, as they can lead to false negatives.

Are you a Veterinarian?

Our goal in referring your patient is to ensure you are informed at all times about their visit and the tests performed by the specialist. This will not only be communicated through a medical report sent to your referral center but also via a direct call to discuss the case and its progression.

We will work as colleagues, not as competitors.
