Pallergy’s Oral Drops Offer Simple Solution for Allergies in Cats, Dogs and Horses

For those with allergic pets, the thought of giving them an allergy shot may be daunting, but a new line of pet allergy drops can help.  Pallergy drops offer the long-term benefits of allergy immunotherapy, but instead of being injected, they are simply squeezed into the pet’s mouth.

Though antihistamines and steroids can provide temporary relief for allergic pets, only allergy immunotherapy can actually treat the underlying allergy for lasting results.  It used to be that immunotherapy was only available through allergy shots, but it is now available through oral drops (a form of sublingual immunotherapy).  The drops absorb into the bloodstream through specialized cells in pets’ mouths.

“Animals can have shot anxiety just like humans do,” said Dr. Stuart Agren, the founder of Pallergy.  “Trying to inject an animal that knows what is coming and doesn’t like it can be a distressing ordeal.”

The drops are safer than allergy shots which allows for simple, daily, home administration.

Another perk of Pallergy drops is that they are nature-based and free of the harmful side effects that come with many synthetic drugs. Steroids, for example, are a common treatment for pet allergies but have been linked to urinary tract infections, weight gain, and even diabetes.  Antibiotics, another common treatment, can cause gastrointestinal problems and, in some cases, kidney and liver problems after prolonged use.

“Pallergy drops are made of the same things animals breathe in every day in nature, so pet parents do not have to worry about their pets’ health being compromised by these long-term side effects,” said Agren.

Perhaps the biggest perk of the drops is that they provide a long-term solution.

“Steroids and antihistamines are only designed to treat the symptoms of allergy, so when you stop the medications, the symptoms return,” said Agren.  “The Pallergy drops help retrain the immune system to stop overreacting to allergens in the first place, so the symptoms can diminish or stop altogether.

“The drops are effective for allergies in cats, horses, and dogs, and treatment can be prescribed by veterinarians across the country.

Animal allergy often manifests through atopic dermatitis marked by swollen paws and red, itchy skin rashes that animals scratch and chew.  This can result in bald patches and painful, inflamed sores known as “hot spots.”
