IDEXX allergen panels
Serum allergy testing with a simple blood test is a convenient and accurate method to determine environmental allergens.
Once a patient’s specific environmental allergens have been identified, then immunotherapy can be used to hyposensitize the pet. Currently, immunotherapy is the only available therapy that has the potential to change the long-term course of the disease by reducing symptoms and drug dependency, and immunotherapy should be offered to clients whenever feasible.
Allergen testing options
For most atopic patients, ordering the standard regional allergen panel of environmental allergens is indicated. Additional panels that are less commonly indicated but can either be ordered alone or in combination with the standard regional allergen panel include an Insect Panel, Farm & Stable Panel, Food Panel, and Malassezia Allergen Add-on.
Regional Allergen Panels
The Regional Allergen Panels test for IgE against 36 core environmental allergens common to all regions and 12 additional geographically specific allergens.
Refer to the map below to determine your region, and then click on the region name below the map to access regional allergen test codes and a list of specific allergens included in each regional panel. Patients who live near the border of a region may benefit from the addition of a Secondary Regional Allergen Panel.
Additional allergen panels
| 3291—Insect Allergen Panel Includes IgE for common household and biting insects. |
|
3292—Farm & Stable Allergen Panel Includes IgE for common farm allergens, including cat dander, grain dusts and smuts, molds, and pollens. |
|
3293—Food Allergen Panel Includes IgE for common pet food components. Immunotherapy is not available for food allergens. A strict hypoallergenic dietary trial is recommended to appropriately diagnose food sensitivity/allergy. |
|
3299—Malassezia Allergen Add-on Available if sensitivity to this yeast is clinically suspected. |
Recommended timing for serum allergy testing
A specific time for when to test has not been determined since many intrinsic factors can affect allergy testing. However, many dermatologists recommend testing late in the allergy season and/or within 1 month after seasonal allergy symptoms are lessening. The ideal goal is to allergy test the pet after the pet has been exposed to every pollen and dust allergen for that season. For example, in cold weather areas, this means allergy testing should be done in later summer to fall just after pollination cycles are complete. However, these principles are partially theoretical and will vary with climate and the individual pet.
Impact of medications on serum allergy testing
Antihistamine and cyclosporine therapies do not interfere with serum allergy testing.
Although serum allergy testing appears to be less influenced by glucocorticoid therapy, in cases where it is medically feasible, it may be ideal for glucocorticoid therapy to be discontinued for at least 4–12 weeks prior to serum allergy testing or reduced to the lowest possible every other day dosing. However, mandatory discontinuation of steroids is not required.
A small study suggests that a short course (2 weeks) of Apoquel likely does not interfere with serum allergy testing. Studies looking at the effects of longer-term use of Apoquel are not yet available. It may be ideal to consider discontinuation of Apoquel for at least 4–12 weeks prior to testing if an animal has been on this medication long-term.

For most atopic patients, ordering the Regional Allergen Panel is indicated. This panel tests for IgE against 36 core environmental allergens common to all regions and 12 additional allergens specific to your region. These 48 allergens include pollens (from weeds, trees, and grasses), molds, and mites (including storage mites often found in pet food). If the patient lives near the border of a region, an Add-on Secondary Regional Allergen Panel from the neighboring region may also be indicated.
Additional panels that are less commonly indicated, but can be ordered in combination with the Regional Allergen Panel, include the Farm & Stable Panel (for common farm allergens, such as alfalfa, oats, etc.), Food Panel, and Insect Panel (for common household and biting insects).
