# Dermatology and Allergic Skin Disease

Getting to the root cause of itchy skin and recurring ear infections with allergy testing, diet trials and effective infection control.

Appropriate care of skin disease in pets involves effective therapy to alleviate symptoms and provide relief, and reaching a diagnosis that provides long-term solutions for often-frustrating skin and ear infections. We have extensive experience and interest in the management of many skin conditions.

Especially with allergic skin disease, reaching a definitive diagnosis is extremely important in controlling itching and discomfort. With serum allergy testing and appropriate diets to diagnose and treat food allergies, we can often get to the root cause of a problem without repeated visits that treat only symptoms.

Many patients also have skin infections that are itchy in their own right and contribute to chronic problems that never seem to resolve. Diagnosing and treating these infections effectively, including ear infections, can make an immense difference in the success of dermatologic cases.
