Allergies in dogs diagnosis tool

The most common sign of an allergic reaction in dogs impacts the skin and is known as atopic dermatitis. If your dog is licking or scratching more than usual, or has skin changes, or if you’re concerned your dog might have an allergy, why not try this quick quiz?

The results of the quiz will provide an indication as to whether your dog is more likely to be suffering from atopic dermatitis. In addition, the answers to the quiz questions are a great starting point for your vet to evaluate if your dog has an allergy. It might be helpful to print the results as a reminder, and take them with you to your dog’s next veterinary appointment.

As always, your veterinarian is your best resource if you are concerned about your dog’s health.
