We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. It’s crucial to address not only the symptoms of dog allergy but also the underlying cause.
Fortunately, our veterinary dermatology team is comprised of experts in diagnosing and treating allergic reactions, skin disease, and ear disease in pets, including cats and dogs.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
Our complete veterinary dermatology allergy services include extensive allergy testing designed to uncover the root cause of pet allergy-related issues. Our tests distinguish between food and environmental allergens, forming the foundation of personalized treatment plans, ensuring accurate results for your pets.
For dogs with suspected food allergies, elimination diets can help identify the allergenic ingredients. Such tailored strategies are vital for managing dog allergies, boosting the success of treatments, and enhancing life quality. Dermatology Allergy specialists provide necessary insights and treatment to alleviate allergic reactions.
If your pet has a skin condition, you’ll have an entire dermatology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
We diagnose and treat dermatological conditions in dogs and cats such as:
Our veterinary dermatologists utilize a variety of advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify skin conditions and allergies in pets, including cats and dogs. Veterinary dermatologists often recommend combining dog allergy testing with other tests to find comprehensive solutions.
These methods include cytology, which analyzes skin cells, and intradermal skin testing, particularly used for dogs to detect specific allergens through skin reactions, aiding in identifying potential allergens.
Blood tests are also a critical tool, examining serum antibody levels in response to prevalent allergens, thanks to cutting-edge technology in animal dermatology. These precise tests ensure accurate diagnostic results, facilitating effective treatment plans based on clinical evidence.
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of issues like itching, hair loss or recurring ear infections.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our dermatology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive care options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Opting for a veterinary dermatologist means choosing focused expertise in handling complex pet skin issues. These professionals conduct thorough reviews of allergic reactions and symptoms, administering precise treatments like immunotherapy and targeted diagnostic tests.

This specialized care offers pet owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are receiving optimal attention.
