From diagnosing underlying causes to providing effective treatments, our goal is to ensure your pet enjoys a healthy and comfortable life.

Common Skin Conditions in Pets

Skin problems in pets are common and can arise from various causes, including hormonal imbalances, allergies, infections, and parasites like fleas and mites. These issues often manifest as excessive scratching, redness, inflammation, or changes in the skin or coat. If left untreated, these conditions can worsen, leading to further discomfort and complications. Prompt attention to these symptoms is crucial to prevent your pet from experiencing unnecessary distress.

Diagnosing and Treating Skin Issues

We can often diagnose a skin problem by simply examining your pet. However, some dermatologic diseases or conditions require additional diagnostic procedures to ensure accuracy. Depending on your pet’s symptoms and the results of our physical examination, we may recommend diagnostic tests such as blood work, urinalysis, skin scraping, or biopsies. These tests help us identify the root cause of your pet’s condition and develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs.

Our pet dermatology services include treatments for allergies, bacterial or fungal infections, and parasite-related skin conditions. We also offer guidance on managing chronic skin conditions to enhance your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

When to Seek Help

If you notice your pet scratching excessively or developing bare patches, scabs, scaling, redness, or lumps, it’s time to seek professional care. Early diagnosis and treatment can alleviate your pet’s discomfort and prevent further complications.
