A blood test for dog allergy — the IgE antibody to dog dander (allergen e5). For sneezing, itchy eyes, wheezing or hives around dogs, or before adopting. No scratch test, no stopping antihistamines. Dog allergy is a reaction to proteins in dog dander, saliva and urine (Can f 1 and related allergens), carried on hair and settled into carpets and upholstery. This test measures the IgE antibody your immune system makes against dog dander; a raised level means you are sensitized, and with your symptoms it tells your clinician whether a dog is a likely trigger. Because it is a blood test, antihistamines do not interfere and there is nothing to stop beforehand. No breed is truly hypoallergenic — all dogs shed dander — so the result applies to dogs generally, not one breed. It is a single-allergen test: if you also react around cats, the Cat Allergy Test or the Dog & Cat combo covers both. A negative result makes dog allergy unlikely but does not exclude irritation from dust, mold or pollen carried on a dog's coat. ## Biomarkers measured - Dog Dander (e5) IgE ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $39.99 | $45.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | BioReference (NY & NJ) | $39.99 | $45.99 | New York and New Jersey orders route here automatically | Rhode Island is not served.
