Expert Pet Dermatology Care at PetRight Animal Clinic
Skin issues can be uncomfortable and frustrating for pets, often leading to itching, irritation, and infections. At PetRight Animal Clinic in Houston, TX, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of dermatological conditions in pets. Whether your pet suffers from allergies, hot spots, hair loss, or persistent skin infections, our team is here to help.
Common skin conditions in pets include allergic reactions, fungal infections, parasites, metabolic and autoimmune disorders. Our veterinary team uses advanced diagnostic tools, including skin scrapings with microscopic exam, complete blood work, biopsies and allergy test to identify the root cause of your pet’s skin issues. Once diagnosed, we create a customized treatment plan to relieve discomfort and promote healing.
Understanding Your Pet’s Allergy Triggers
Pets typically suffer from one (or a combination) of three main types of allergies:
- Fleas (Flea Allergy Dermatitis): Pets with this condition are actually allergic to flea saliva. A single bite can trigger intense itching and a widespread skin reaction that lasts for days, even if you never see a live flea on your pet.
- Environment (Atopic Dermatitis): This is an allergy to microscopic airborne particles like house dust mites, molds, tree, grass, or weed pollens. These allergens are absorbed directly through your pet's skin barrier.
- Food (Cutaneous Adverse Food Reaction): This is an immune reaction to a specific ingredient in their diet, most commonly a protein source like beef, chicken, dairy, or wheat. Food allergies cause year-round itching and sometimes chronic ear infections or mild stomach upset.
