If your pet is constantly itching, licking, or experiencing recurring ear or skin infections, allergies could be the cause. At Brentwood Veterinary Center, we provide comprehensive allergy testing, diagnosis, and treatment to help pets feel better—and stay comfortable year-round.

  • Food Allergies or Sensitivities: Triggered by proteins or ingredients in your pet’s diet
