Hyposensitization therapy using allergens of house dust mites was performed on 16 dogs with atopic dermatitis. Efficacy evaluations conducted 6 months after initial hyposensitization therapy showed that 4 dogs (25.0%) demonstrated an excellent response, 7 dogs (43.8%) a good response, and 5 dogs (31.3%) a poor response. Overall, the therapy was considered successful in the cases of 11 dogs (68.8%), most of which improved within 1 or 2 months. In short, hyposensitization therapy using allergens of house dust mites proved effective for treating dogs with atopic dermatitis.
