Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy is a course of desensitisation vaccinations given
to the animal, following positive results on a YORKTEST Allergy Test. These vaccinations
help the immune system by increasing circulating antibody levels to specific allergens, meaning the
animal will become less sensitive to any plants and/or mites to which they have
allergies.
Immunotherapy can reduce the dependency, but not necessarily eliminate the need, for other medication. Whilst it can take 3-4 months for improvements to be seen, our own research suggests that over 75% of animals show a beneficial response to our immunotherapy vaccines following a YORKTEST Allergy Test.
Vaccines are tailored to the individual requirements of your companion animal. Whilst some animals are on immunotherapy all year round, others may only require vaccinations in preparation for the pollen season. Immunotherapy can be given for the life of your animal.
