Do I need to make changes to my dog's food, environment, or lifestyle based on my dog's allergy risk score?

These results are not a diagnosis, only an assessment of risk, so there’s no need to make immediate changes based on them alone. However, your dog’s genetic allergy risk scores can provide helpful context for you and your veterinarian. By knowing your dog’s individual risk for certain types of allergies, you’ll be prepared and know what signs to look for. If your dog has allergy-like symptoms, you should talk to your dog’s veterinarian to determine which diagnostic tests, treatments, or lifestyle changes are appropriate for your dog.
