Why Skin Health Matters for Dogs
Skin problems can cause constant itching, redness, or even pain for dogs. Left untreated, they may lead to secondary infections, chronic discomfort, and a reduced quality of life. Allergies affecting the skin often involve the ears as well, which is why veterinary dermatology takes a whole-pet approach to diagnosing and managing these conditions.
Common Skin Conditions in Dogs
Skin issues in dogs can have many causes. Some of the most common we treat include:
- Seasonal and environmental allergies
- Hot spots and itching
- Hair loss and dryness
- Bacterial or yeast infections
- Food-related dermatitis
Our Dog Dermatology Services
We provide a full range of diagnostic and treatment options tailored to your dog’s needs:
- Comprehensive Skin Exams: Checking for rashes, hair loss, bumps, or lesions, with tests like cytology, skin scrapings, or biopsies if needed.
- Allergy Testing: Using serum tests or food elimination trials to identify environmental or dietary triggers.
- Customized Treatment Plans: May include topical therapies, oral medications, advanced treatments like Cytopoint or Apoquel, and diet recommendations for long-term relief.
