Dermatology and Itch Relief
Veterinary Dermatology in Bradenton, Florida
Pets can have skin issues just like humans - issues like hair loss, irritation, scabs, sores, rash and more. Your pet needs a good veterinarian who can assist with his or her skin needs.
These skin problems in dogs and cats can be the result of a large range of problems. It could be an allergic reaction to food, medication, bug bites, or a shampoo or cleanser. It could also be seasonal allergies.
Our role is to help uncover what is causing your pet's skin allergies and help them find itch relief.
Let us help get your pet - and you - much needed relief when it comes to your pet's allergies, itchy skin, and other difficult skin conditions.
Our vet dermatologists will perform a thorough exam on your pet and ask a myriad of questions to see if we can pinpoint any known allergens or common issues with pet allergies. We may take skin and blood samples and note your pet's overall condition. After working with you, we'll determine if your pet's issue is a mild skin condition, or something more serious like mange or disease.
Pets are sensitive and even minimal changes can have a great affect on them.
