Pet Allergy & Dermatology
Diagnose and treat common skin conditions.
Our doctors are dedicated to finding the underlying cause of your pet’s skin condition. We offer diagnostic testing including routine blood work, thyroid testing, skin scrapings, fungal and bacterial cultures, cytology, and skin biopsies.
Allergies, both environmental allergies (atopy) and food allergies, are common in pets. If your pet is diagnosed with allergies, we will discuss our recommendations for initial therapy as well as long-term management. We use a multimodal approach incorporating diet, oral medications, and topical therapies to manage your pet as effectively and safely as possible.
We also work closely with Dr. Melissa Eisenschenk at the Pet Dermatology Clinic in Maple Grove and the Animal Emergency & Referral Center as well as other dermatologists in the Twin Cities area for those patients requiring allergy testing or other advanced diagnostics.
Please inform us if your pet is experiencing any signs of a dermatology condition, including:
- Itchy skin
- Redness, hives, pimples, sores or a rash
- Hair loss
- Ear infections – redness, discharge, scratching, or head shaking
- Chewing on feet
- Scooting or licking around rectum
- Abnormal odor
- Excessively dry or greasy skin
- Parasites – fleas, ticks, lice, or mites
