You might be allergic to your pet, but your pet might also be allergic to your other pets
Sitting in the veterinarian’s office last summer with her dog Baloo, Beth Kingston braced for bad news. Just four years old, her Great Dane-black Labrador mix had been acting lethargic, with a runny nose and flaking skin. Worried it might be a deadly heart condition common to Great Danes, the vet ran a series of blood tests.
Baloo’s heart was fine, “Thank God,” Ms. Kingston says. But the lab results—which cost nearly $1,000—were still full of surprises. “I saw the words ‘feline’ and ‘dander’ and said, ‘Are you telling me my dog is allergic to cats?’ ” she recalls. “We’ve always been a two-dogs-and-a-cat family.” Indeed, the tests showed Baloo was allergic to cats, feathers, dust mites, seven types of grass and most of the pollen floating around their home near Annapolis, Md. “I didn’t even know that was possible,” says Ms. Kingston, a crafting expert on the Home Shopping Network.
The Kingstons started giving Baloo weekly allergy shots at home. Improvement came within a month. “Now he’s just 150 pounds of pure handsomeness,” Ms. Kingston says.
