Allergies &amp; Dermatology: Helping Your Pet Feel Comfortable in Their Skin If your pet is constantly scratching, licking, or dealing with skin irritation, they may be suffering from allergies or a dermatological condition. These issues can be frustrating for pets and pet parents alike—but the good news is, there are safe and effective treatments that can help.What Are Pet Allergies?Allergies occur when your pet’s immune system overreacts to something in their environment, food, or parasites. Common triggers include:<ul><li>Environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold, or grass</li><li>Fleas or flea saliva</li><li>Food sensitivities, especially to proteins like chicken or beef</li><li>Contact irritants such as shampoos or cleaning products</li></ul>These allergens can lead to symptoms that show up on the skin and coat, or even affect the ears, paws, and respiratory system.Signs Your Pet May Have Allergies or a Skin Condition<ul><li>Persistent scratching, licking, or chewing</li><li>Red, inflamed, or scaly skin</li><li>Hair loss or bald patches</li><li>Ear infections or head shaking</li><li>Frequent paw licking</li><li>Rashes or hot spots</li><li>Unusual odor</li></ul>If these symptoms sound familiar, your pet may benefit from a dermatological exam.What to Expect During a Dermatology VisitAt your appointment, your veterinarian will:<ol type="1"><li>Conduct a thorough skin and coat exam</li><li>Ask about diet, environment, and symptom history</li><li>Perform tests like:<ul><li>Skin scraps</li><li>Cytology (microscopic analysis)</li><li>Ear swabs</li><li>Allergy testing (if needed)</li></ul></li></ol>Once the cause is identified, we’ll create a customized treatment plan.Treatment OptionsDepending on the diagnosis, treatment may include:<ul><li>Prescription medications to relieve itching and inflammation (oral or injectable)</li><li>Topical treatments or medicated shampoos</li><li>Flea prevention (essential for flea allergy dermatitis)</li><li>Diet changes or elimination trials for suspected food allergies</li><li>Immunotherapy (allergy desensitization for long-term relief)</li><li>Ear treatments for infections or chronic inflammation</li></ul>Our goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term comfort and healthy skin.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>Chronic skin issues can seriously affect your pet’s quality of life.
