Axiom Laboratories has launched MiPetAllergy, a pet allergy test which is not affected by medication and which requires no withdrawal period prior to testing. The research team at Axiom, one of the UK's leading veterinary laboratories, has produced MiPetAllergy in partnership with ALK, BMS and Artuvetrin, the world leader in allergy immunotherapy. It features additional allergens on its panels, together with a food elimination diet selector tool, developed in association with Royal Canin. Commenting, Dan Sherry, General Manager at Axiom, said: "Allergies are increasing among companion animals and identifying accurately which allergen is causing the problem in a particular pet can be one of the toughest challenges veterinary staff face in practice. "MiPetAllergy represents two and half years of research so we are delighted to announce its arrival. Axiom is confident that there will be complete concordance between the screen and panel results that they are offering a money back guarantee if they are discordant. We hope it will help practices dealing with allergy patients to identify and treat for the specific allergens causing their symptoms." Martyn Carpenter, Director of Axiom, added: "The introduction of the MiPetAllergy testing is timely as it coincides with the change in Axiom’s supplier of immunotherapy. During November and December 2014 the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) started rejecting applications for STC’s and advising that European Licensed immunotherapy products should now be used in the UK as part of the Cascade. Both our new allergy test and new vaccines are manufactured by the same company."
