Dermatology

Healthy from the Outside In

Skin problems are pretty common in both dogs and cats, and it’s important to catch the signs early.

What to Look For

If your pet is experiencing any of the following, it could be a sign of a dermatologic issue:

• Inflamed ears
• Recurring hotspots that don’t seem to heal
• Excessive scratching or biting at their skin
• Rubbing their eyes or mouth area
• Flaky, dry skin
• Skin lesions or sores
• Hair loss in patches
• Red, itchy bumps on their skin
• Wheezing or respiratory issues

These symptoms can be linked to a number of causes, including fleas, allergies (like pollen, dust, or certain foods), infections, autoimmune conditions, or even hormonal imbalances. Allergies, in particular, are a common culprit, and they can be triggered by things in the environment, like seasonal allergens, or even certain ingredients in their food.

We offer comprehensive dermatology services to identify the root cause and help your pet feel better again.
