“… Two thirds of dogs with concurrent AD and food allergies exhibit perianal pruritus (QOE 2) [ 24 ]. House dust and storage mites and faeces are rarely present in commercial dry dog foods (QOE 3) [ 25 , 26 ]. Storage of foods in paper bags (QOE 3) [ 25 , 26 ], and especially in environmental conditions of moderate temperatures and high humidity, increases Tyrophagus storage mite numbers (QOE 3) [ 26 ].…”

Treatment of canine atopic dermatitis: 2015 updated guidelines from the International Committee on Allergic Diseases of Animals (ICADA)

BackgroundIn 2010, the International Task Force on Canine Atopic Dermatitis (now International Committee on Allergic Diseases of Animals, ICADA) published the first consensus guidelines for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in dogs. This is the first 5-year minor update of this document.ResultsThe treatment of acute flares of AD should involve the search for, and then elimination of, the cause of the flares, bathing with mild shampoos, and controlling pruritus and skin lesions with interventions that include topical and/or oral glucocorticoids or oclacitinib. For chronic canine AD, the first steps in management are the identification and avoidance of flare factors, as well as ensuring that there is adequate skin and coat hygiene and care; this might include more frequent bathing and possibly increasing essential fatty acid intake. The medications currently most effective in reducing chronic pruritus and skin lesions are topical and oral glucocorticoids, oral ciclosporin, oral oclacitinib, and, where available, injectable recombinant interferons. Allergen-specific immunotherapy and proactive intermittent topical glucocorticoid applications are the only interventions likely to prevent or delay the recurrence of flares of AD.ConclusionsThis first 5-year minor update of the international consensus guidelines for treatment of AD in dogs further establishes that the treatment of this disease is multifaceted, and that interventions should be combined for a proven (or likely) optimal benefit. Importantly, treatment plans are likely to vary between dogs and, for the same dog, between times when the disease is at different stages.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12917-015-0514-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Similar constraints also apply to the use of intradermal tests (IDTs). The use of such tests for cats and horses is more complex and readers are directed to other sources for information (Noli and others 2014). …”

“…Laboratories also recommend feeding wet food to dogs testing positive to storage mites because these mites have been recorded as being present in dry dog food (Hibberson and Vogelnest 2014). There is no substantial benefit from this approach and positive serology test results merely reflect exposure and some degree of cross reactivity to house dust mites.…”

Using ‘allergy tests’ in cases of canine dermatitis

In Practice

Veterinary clinicians and owners have access to a variety of commercial serological tests that purport to measure immunoglobulin (Ig) E, and in some situations IgG, antibodies to various allergens. However, there is considerable confusion about how to use these tests and a great potential for misusing them and for wasting clients’ money. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of how these tests can be used to help the diagnosis and treatment of allergic skin conditions in dogs.

“…Among the most commonly infesting pests are reported moths (P. interpunctella, C. cautella), beetles (Gibbium sp., Necrobia rufipes) (De Geer, 1775), T. confusum, T castaneum, Trogoderma sternale Jayne, 1882, T. variabile Ballion, 1878, O. surinamensis, Oryzaephilus mercator (Fauvel, 1889), R. dominica, Stegobium paniceum (Linnaeus, 1758) and Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius, 1792) (Machado et al, 2008;Hagstrum Subramanyam, 2009;Roesli et al, 2003) and mites (Acarus sp., Dermatophagoides spp., Tyrophagus spp.) (Brazis et al, 2008;Gill et al, 2011;Arthur, 2012;Hibberson, Vogelnest, 2014). Surprisingly no published data on incidence and rate of infestation on pet food is available for Europe although this problem is elevating in the practice.…”
