Caring for Your Dog’s Skin
Skin problems in dogs can lead to constant discomfort, including itching, redness, or pain. When left untreated, these issues may result in secondary infections, chronic discomfort, and a decline in your dog’s quality of life. Allergies affecting the skin can also impact the ears, so veterinary dermatology takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing these conditions. Timely treatment helps your dog live a more comfortable and happy life.
Common Skin Conditions in Dogs
Skin issues in dogs can arise from various factors, and some of the most common conditions 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
At Pure Paws Veterinary Care in Hudson Square, we offer a wide range of diagnostic and treatment options to address your dog’s skin issues:
Comprehensive Skin Exams
During a full skin exam, we carefully check for rashes, bumps, hair loss, lesions, and other skin conditions. If necessary, we perform tests like cytology, skin scrapings, or biopsies to get an accurate diagnosis.
Allergy Testing
To identify the triggers behind skin allergies, we offer allergy testing through serum tests or food elimination trials. This helps us pinpoint environmental or dietary causes, so we can better address your dog’s needs.
Customized Treatment Plans
After diagnosis, we create a tailored treatment plan that may include topical therapies, oral medications, and advanced treatments like Cytopoint or Apoquel. We also offer diet recommendations for long-term relief and better skin health.
Ongoing Care and Support
Our dermatology services don’t end after the first treatment. We provide follow-up visits to monitor your dog’s progress, adjust therapies, and prevent future skin issues.
