Last year we featured a post on Spencer, our Business Development Manager Alastair Jack’s beautiful Labrador. Spencer was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and using the VPG’s serological allergy screening service, we could formulate a tailored vaccine for immunotherapy.

Spencer was a markedly pruritic dog with generalised ventral hyperpigmentation, and frequent, painful flare-ups. He has been on immunotherapy for 3 years and has now been able to reduce and eventually stop treatment with Apoquel®, in place of a monthly vaccine. Alastair reports he seems much happier in himself, he itches very rarely and no longer gets flare-ups.

Brilliant news for Spencer and great to see first hand how the VPG’s allergy screening can transform the lives of our beloved canine friends at this itchy time of year!
