The two most common reasons for dermatological issues in dogs are allergies and parasites. If you notice your dog licking themselves a lot, itchy spots, stinky ears, dandruff, runny/swollen/itchy eyes, a funky smell, or head shaking/tilting, book a consult.

For cats, common signs are bumpy spots, scaly skin, thinning or loss of coat, vomiting hairballs or itchy bits.

Feeding a premium diet can also help manage a dermatological condition — talk to your vet about diet options.
