Pet Allergy & Dermatology

Diagnose and treat skin conditions.

Dermatological Care for Pets

Pets, like humans, can experience a variety of dermatological issues that range from minor irritation to severe discomfort. These conditions can significantly affect your pet’s quality of life, and it is important to properly diagnose and treat them.

We can help diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions, including allergies, autoimmune disorders, dermatitis, infections, hormonal imbalances, parasites, tumors, and skin cancer.

Diagnosing Skin Conditions

At Lake Alfred Animal Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tools to help determine the cause of your pet’s skin issues. In some cases, we may recommend blood work or a biopsy to get a clearer picture of what’s affecting your pet’s skin.

Once a diagnosis is made, we will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your pet’s specific needs. Treatment options may include medications, supplements, topical creams, or surgery, depending on the condition. Our approach is always individualized to ensure the best care for your pet.

Managing Allergies in Pets

If your pet’s skin condition is related to allergies, we will help determine whether the cause is environmental or food-related and work to identify the specific trigger. Together, we can develop a strategy to minimize your pet’s exposure to the allergen.

While many pets can find relief from allergy symptoms, chronic cases may require ongoing management. We offer various treatment options to help manage symptoms and provide long-term comfort for your pet.

Common signs of allergies in pets include:

  • Excessive chewing or licking of the affected area
  • Increased grooming
  • Scratching that leads to flaky skin, hair loss, or scabs
  • Unusual lumps or bumps
  • Foul-smelling ears

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to address the issue. We’re here to help diagnose and treat your pet’s skin condition so they can enjoy a more comfortable life.
