We help your pet feel better

We know that allergies can cause problems for pets in Southern California, and we’re experienced in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating diseases of the skin of animals. During the diagnosis period, we’ll look at your pet’s entire body, including the ear, hair, nail, and mouth. Many animal skin diseases are similar to conditions in humans, and training in comparative medicine is important. However, most veterinary skin disorders are unique and may occur in only one of the many types of animals a veterinarian cares for.

These dermatological issues range from skin cancer to allergies, and treatment options vary tremendously. Skin disease can also present as a manifestation of an underlying internal disease process. Thus, in addition to dermatology, we’re are also trained in internal medicine, immunology, and allergy.
