Why is Pet Dermatology so important?

Over the course of your life, your pet will be susceptible to hundreds of potential skin disorders. Many skin disorders are not life-threatening, but they can certainly cause your dog a great deal of distress, discomfort or even pain. Just because they’re covered in fur, that doesn’t fully protect the skin beneath from potential ailments.

The expert veterinary staff at Graceful Animal Hospital has the training and experience to recognize these dermatological conditions and treat them efficiently and expediently before they can worsen. We have a tremendous amount of experience treating animals with such issues, and employ state-of-the-art dermatology therapies to help manage them and, ultimately, make them a thing of the past.

What can we do for your pets?

Have you noticed your pet chewing, licking, itching, or scratching itself? If so, this may be indicative of a wide range of dermatological issues. These can range from allergies, autoimmune skin diseases, bacterial or fungal infections, ear complications, endocrine disorders, hormonal imbalances, nail afflictions, parasitic infestations, to even skin cancer. Often, pets are simply suffering from a form of allergic skin disease, which can be treated fairly easily.

If you’re unsure, it is always a good idea to check as underlying serious conditions might be present. Our team at Graceful Animal Hospital conducts thorough examinations to pinpoint your pet’s specific issues, and tailor a custom solution to expedite your pet’s return to their optimal health.
