• What are some ways to help prevent pet skin problems?

  The most effective preventive measures for your pet depend on the specific cause of the skin problem. Once this has been diagnosed and treated, the pet dermatologist will provide advice on how to prevent the problem from recurring or flaring up.

  Things that may help include changes in your household products, flea treatment, hypoallergenic soaps, and grooming products, brushing to prevent matting, or a quieter, less stressful environment for the pet.

• When should I bring my pet to the vet for a skin problem?

  You should make a dermatological appointment with the vet dermatologist if your pet is scratching a lot or even biting, especially if sores or bleeding have occurred. If they are losing fur at an unusual rate, or if they have a strange bump or lump on the skin this requires veterinary attention as well.

• What if my pet is scratching, but shows no visible signs of skin problems?

  If your pet is scratching or grooming excessively, but you can't see any indicators that there is a skin problem, you should still get your pet checked out by a veterinary dermatologist. Excessive scratching and grooming could be a sign of several underlying health issues or even stress and can cause skin problems to develop if left unaddressed.
