If you suspect that you are allergic to your beloved pet, this should be verified quickly. Allergies to pets can promote itching and neurodermatitis, lead to allergic rhinitis, bronchitis and coughing, and even chronic asthma.

In the ALEX test, we can quickly see which animal allergens - e.g. from hamster, cat, dog to horse - are actually recognized by your IgE in the blood, and the risk of the disease worsening. As a pet owner, you often think that other animals, but not your own, are making complaints. In fact, the basophil activation test (BAT) can be used to determine whether the immune system has learned to tolerate the allergen despite the presence of specific IgE.

We understand that allergies to pets are a particular problem in partnerships and for the whole family. We will therefore advise you very sensitively on how you can best manage the problem with a range of practical measures. Families with a history of allergies should seek advice before planning a family, and certainly before acquiring a pet.
