Services
Allergy Testing
Our comprehensive allergy testing identifies specific environmental and food triggers causing skin irritation in pets. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we create customized immunotherapy plans to manage chronic allergic reactions. This service helps pets achieve long-term relief from itching, inflammation, and secondary infections caused by allergic responses.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
This advanced therapy delivers 100% oxygen at increased pressure to promote healing of severe skin wounds and infections. The treatment enhances tissue repair by increasing oxygen delivery to damaged areas while reducing inflammation. It's particularly effective for pets with chronic non-healing wounds or severe dermatological trauma requiring accelerated recovery.
Food Allergy Diagnostics
Our specialized food allergy testing identifies specific dietary triggers through elimination trials and advanced laboratory analysis. This precise diagnostic process enables creation of customized nutrition plans that eliminate allergens while maintaining complete nutritional balance. The service addresses gastrointestinal and dermatological symptoms caused by food sensitivities in pets.
Equine Dermatology
We provide specialized dermatological care for horses, addressing unique equine skin conditions and infections. Our experts treat allergic reactions, parasitic infestations, and environmental irritations specific to equine patients. This service combines large animal expertise with advanced dermatological techniques to maintain skin health in performance and companion horses.
In-House Diagnostic Testing
Our on-site diagnostic facilities enable rapid analysis of skin and ear samples for immediate treatment decisions. This service includes cytology, culture, and microscopic examination capabilities that provide same-day results. Quick diagnostic turnaround allows for prompt intervention in acute and chronic dermatological cases.
