Pet Dermatology

Our dermatology services provide targeted testing, including allergy and fungal tests, alongside advanced treatments to keep your pet’s skin in optimal health.

Common Skin Conditions in Pets

Pets can suffer from various skin issues that affect their quality of life. Our veterinary team is equipped to identify and treat both acute and chronic conditions, including:

  • Allergies: Environmental triggers, food sensitivities, and flea bites often cause itching, redness, and hair loss
  • Chronic Ear Infections: Recurring ear infections can indicate underlying allergies or dermatological issues
  • Hot Spots and Rashes: These inflamed areas can cause significant discomfort and may worsen without proper treatment
  • Bacterial and Fungal Infections: Skin infections can lead to itching, scabbing, and hair thinning
  • Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and mites can cause severe itching and irritation
