Relief for Itchy Pets with Comprehensive Dermatology & Allergy Care
Is your pet constantly scratching, licking, or biting their skin? Chronic itching, redness, hair loss, and skin irritation can make life miserable for both you and your furry friend.
At Paws & Claws Veterinary Hospital, we understand how frustrating and uncomfortable skin conditions and allergies can be, and we’re here to help. Our dermatology and allergy care services focus on identifying the root cause of your pet’s discomfort and creating a customized treatment plan to bring lasting relief.
Understanding Your Pet’s Skin Issues
A variety of factors can cause skin problems in pets:
- Environmental allergies (pollen, dust, mold)
- Food allergies
- Fleas and parasites
- Bacterial or fungal infections
- Hormonal imbalances
- Underlying medical conditions
Since many skin conditions look alike, proper diagnosis is key. That’s why we take a thorough approach to testing, evaluation, and treatment, ensuring we get to the bottom of your pet’s issue rather than just masking symptoms.
How We Help: Testing & Treatment
Our team will work closely with you to determine the best course of action for your pet’s unique condition.
- Allergy Testing—Identifying triggers so we can create a management plan
- Skin Scraping & Cytology—Checking for infections, mites, and other issues
- Dietary Trials—Determining if food allergies are playing a role
- Medicated Shampoos & Topicals—Targeting bacteria, yeast, and inflammation
- Oral or Injectable Therapies—Including antihistamines, steroids, or newer allergy treatments
The Benefits of Healthy Skin & Coat Care
A pet free from constant itching and irritation is a happier, healthier companion. Proper dermatologic care not only improves your pet’s quality of life but also prevents long-term damage like chronic infections, scarring, and hair loss. Plus, treating skin issues early means fewer vet visits and lower long-term costs for you.
