If your pet struggles with chronic itching, licking, chewing, ear infections, or skin irritation, allergy testing can help identify the environmental triggers contributing to their symptoms.
We offer two allergy testing options through Nextmune: PAX Allergy Testing and Test & Treat.
PAX Allergy Testing
PAX is a blood test that identifies the environmental allergens your pet may be reacting to, such as pollens, molds, dust mites, and other common triggers.
This option includes:
- Allergy blood testing
- A detailed report of your pet’s allergy triggers
- Recommendations based on the results
This is a good choice if you would like to learn what your pet is allergic to before deciding whether to move forward with treatment.
Test & Treat
Test & Treat includes the same PAX allergy test plus a personalized allergy treatment (immunotherapy) created specifically for your pet.
Once the results are available, Nextmune prepares customized allergy drops or injections designed to gradually help your pet become less sensitive to their allergens.
This option includes:
- PAX allergy testing
- Customized immunotherapy
- Starter treatment supplies
This is a great option if you are ready to begin treatment as soon as the results are available and want the best overall value.
Which Option Should I Choose?
Choose PAX Allergy Testing if:
- You want allergy answers first
- You are still deciding whether treatment is right for your pet
- You prefer a lower initial cost
Choose Test & Treat if:
- You are ready to begin treatment right away
- Your pet has long-standing allergy issues
- You want a more cost-effective package if treatment is likely
