Animal Allergy & Dermatology

For a pet owner, skin problems can be very frustrating. Sometimes, the symptoms can be so severe that the skin may become irritated, sore and infected. The single most important aspect of controlling the itching sensation is to identify and treat the underlying problem. In most cases, your veterinarian is capable of treating your pet's skin problem. However, some skin problems can be chronic and difficult to diagnose. To insure your pet receives the latest and best quality of dermatological care available, your veterinarian may decide to refer you to a board cerified veterinary dermatologist.
