Symptomatic treatment

There are a number of options for short-term medications to help control your pet’s allergy symptoms. Our recommendation is to use these products in addition with Alergovet Immunotherapy to ensure your pet is comfortable but with a long-term goal of only administering natural allergy treatment – immunotherapy – for your pet’s condition. Alergovet Immunotherapy is a safe, effective and long-term treatment. The treatment is the only tool to address the root cause, not only the symptoms.

There are today three key product categories that provide short-term allergy solutions. While these do not fight the root cause, they provide comfort by suppressing the allergic reactions but most come with side-effects.

Key facts about symptomatic allergy solutions:

  • As these treatments only treat the symptoms, they must be maintained if we want to keep the animal under control.
  • Treatments other than immunotherapy should be restricted to short-term use only
  • Symptomatic allergy solutions provide symptomatic relief but fail to address the underlying causes of allergy
  • Symptomatic allergy solutions can be used in addition to immunotherapy during the build-up phase or following flare-ups
