Common Skin and Allergy Issues in Pets

Pets can suffer from a wide variety of dermatologic conditions, including:

  • Seasonal or environmental allergies
  • Food sensitivities
  • Flea allergy dermatitis
  • Chronic ear infections
  • Hot spots and rashes
  • Hair loss, scabbing, and dry skin
  • Fungal and bacterial infections

These conditions may cause persistent scratching, licking, or discomfort, and can worsen if not treated.

How We Diagnose and Treat Skin Conditions

Our dermatology care begins with a thorough history and examination. We may recommend:

  • Skin scrapings or cytology
  • Allergy testing (environmental or food)
  • Ear cytology and cultures
  • Trial elimination diets
  • Flea control strategies

Treatment plans may include medicated baths, anti-itch therapies, antibiotics, antifungals, or long-term allergy management strategies, such as immunotherapy.

Why This Care Matters

Skin issues aren’t just cosmetic — they can indicate underlying health problems and cause serious discomfort. Our goal is to improve your pet’s comfort, quality of life, and long-term skin health with targeted, personalized care.
