New Spray Helps Animals With Allergies
Allergies have been really bad this year, especially in humans. But it also has been very bad for pets as well.
Fifteen to twenty percent of all dogs suffer from an allergy to pollens, mold spores, and dust mites, resulting in an itchy skin condition called atopic dermatitis. A number of treatment options are available to treat these pets, but only one targets the source and can change the underlying disease process: allergy immunotherapy (http://goo.gl/vh8Jd).
SkinVet (TM) has come out with prescription solutions that make allergy immunotherapy more available to allergic pets. A spray called RESPIT (TM) Oromucosal Spray brings together the concepts of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and SkinVet's patent-pending process of geographic region-specific immunotherapy formulation (http://goo.gl/vh8Jd).
Pets would receive two to three squirts a day inside their cheeks while the allergens are absorbed and processed to induce tolerance to common offending allergens.
If you have any questions regarding this oral medicine, please give us a call at one of the Bregman Vet Group hospitals and we can help you understand it better.
