Recognizing allergies & skin conditions in pets
Pets can be allergic to pollen, dust, mold, fleas, certain foods, or products like shampoos. Common signs include excessive itching, licking, or chewing. Cats and dogs can also develop hot spots, infections, ringworm, and other skin conditions with overlapping symptoms.
Diagnosing your pet’s skin issues
To pinpoint the cause, our veterinarians use in-house skin and allergy testing, which may include:
- Skin scraping — checks for mites, infections, or underlying issues
- Cytology — examines skin or ear cells for infection or inflammation
- Fungal culture — diagnoses fungal infections like ringworm
- Blood work — rules out underlying health problems
Soothing dermatology treatments
Once we understand the cause, we build a treatment plan to calm the itch and heal the skin — leading to renewed comfort and skin health for your pet.
