Dermatology FAQs

What are signs that my pet needs dermatology care?

We wish our pets could talk to us, but this is impossible. It's essential to look for skin issues that might impact your pet. If your pet suffers from skin issues such as dry skin, excessive grooming, bald spots, or active bleeding,  it is essential to seek treatment as soon as possible. These can indicate an underlying skin condition.

What causes skin issues?

Many things can cause skin issues for pets. One of the most common causes of skin issues are parasites, such as fleas and ticks, which can irritate your pets  skin after exposure.

In addition, your pet might also have allergies. These allergies can cause dry skin, itching, and patchiness. Fungal infections are another common cause of skin issues for pets. 

How can my veterinarian help?

Your veterinarian will prescribe medication after getting to the root cause of your pet's skin issues. Medications can help improve their skin, eliminate infections, or even calm their anxiety if they are excessively grooming. Changes to grooming products, diet, and lifestyle changes might also help improve skin conditions.
