Dermatology & Pet Skin Conditions

Skin disease, including ear infection, is one of the most common reasons for pets to be taken to the vet. This may include any of the following:

  • Itchy, irritated skin, or a rash
  • A pet that scratches too often
  • Itchy, smelly, or infected ears
  • Lumps, bumps, and other growths on the skin
  • Problem with fur, nails, or foot pads
  • Sores that don’t heal

Skin disorders can be very challenging to diagnose and treat, often becoming chronic or recurrent. Sometimes, skin changes are triggered by other factors, and successful management may require identification and treatment of an underlying disease process, as well as the associated skin problem.

We know how frustrating it can be for beloved pets and their families to cope with the irritation and discomfort of ongoing skin problems. Our goal is to get to the root of the problem and develop a practical and effective management plan that brings lasting improvement in everyone’s quality of life.
