Abstract Background This study describes the usefulness of allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) serology (ASIS) for identifying allergens in dogs with atopic dermatitis. ASIS tests were conducted 23 diagnosed dermatitis indoor (yeast and mites), outdoor (grass pollen, weed tree pollen), fleas. The relationship among positive determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r). Results Of dogs, 26.09%, 4.35%, 47.83% had only allergens, both respectively. prevalence was highest mites (69.57%) did not differ between by age, breed, or sex. during rainy season (84.21%) significantly higher than winter (25.00%, P -value = 0.030). results indicated a strong grass pollen (r 0.840, < 0.01), 0.812, 0.714, 0.01). D. farinae A. siro 0.951, 0.01) moderate B. tropicalis 0.656, T. putrescentie 0.672, Conclusions are useful screening multiple Dust an important source may be responsible titer IgE antibodies against season.
