The first step toward helping your pet feel better again is identifying the precise condition. Our hospital is outfitted with an in-house laboratory, which allows us to run diagnostic tests quickly and efficiently. We may be able to tell what’s wrong just by examining your pet, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings and biopsies help us get the answers we need to move forward with a cure. Most importantly, we handle every patient with a gentle, reassuring touch to make the process less stressful. We provide assistance with dermatological issues, such as: food and environmental allergies, acute and chronic infections, parasites, dermatitis, hormonal disorders, autoimmune diseases, tumors, skin cancer, etc.. Depending on the situation, we may recommend something as simple as applying a topical cream; however, more complex conditions may call for a combination of treatment methods. Allergies require a little more work to manage. Once we understand what’s causing your pet’s reactions, we will work toward a solution that will eliminate outbreaks as much as possible. Some allergies can be managed through lifestyle changes, such as switching food products. Others may require a longer-term strategy. Our recommendations will be based on your pet’s specific needs and completely customized.
