Dermatology & Allergy Assessments

Does your pet constantly scratch, lick, chew, or shake their ears? Skin and allergy issues are incredibly common in pets—and we’re here to help uncover the cause.

Common Signs of Skin & Allergy Issues

Your pet may be suffering from a skin condition if you notice:

  • Persistent scratching or chewing

  • Red, inflamed, or flaky skin

  • Hair loss or bald spots

  • Hot spots or open sores

  • Ear infections or head shaking

  • Bad odor from skin or ears

  • Licking paws excessively

  • Scooting or skin discoloration

These symptoms can be caused by allergies, parasites, infections, or underlying conditions — and we’re here to help you figure it out.

What We Offer

Our basic dermatology and allergy services include:

  • Thorough skin and ear exams

  • Skin scraping or cytology to check for mites, yeast, or bacteria

  • External parasite checks (fleas, ticks, mites)

  • Fungal and bacterial cultures

  • Trial treatments for food or environmental allergies

  • Recommendations for further testing or referral if needed

In some cases, we may refer you to a board-certified veterinary dermatologist for advanced allergy testing or immunotherapy.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Once we identify what’s bothering your pet, we create a treatment plan tailored to their specific condition. This may include:

  • Medicated shampoos or topical treatments

  • Oral or injectable anti-itch medications

  • Antibiotics or antifungals

  • Ear drops or cleansers

  • Diet changes or elimination trials

  • Flea and parasite prevention

Our goal: to stop the itch and heal the skin — so your pet can feel like themselves again.
