Our dedicated team in Encinitas is here to provide expert diagnosis and management of pet allergies and skin diseases, helping your furry friend find relief and regain their comfort.

Understanding Pet Allergies and Skin Diseases

Pets can experience a range of allergies and skin conditions that cause discomfort, itching, and irritation. Common issues include:

• Environmental Allergies: Allergic reactions to pollen, dust mites, mold, and other environmental factors can lead to itching, sneezing, and watery eyes.
• Food Allergies: Certain ingredients in pet food can trigger allergic reactions, resulting in gastrointestinal upset, skin problems, or ear infections.
• Flea Allergies: Flea bites can cause severe itching and discomfort, especially in pets with flea allergy dermatitis.
• Skin Infections: Bacterial, fungal, or yeast infections can lead to redness, swelling, and discomfort.
• Chronic Conditions: Persistent issues like atopic dermatitis or autoimmune diseases require ongoing management to keep symptoms under control.

Our Approach to Managing Allergies and Skin Diseases

Thorough Evaluation: We start with a comprehensive examination to assess your pet’s symptoms, medical history, and potential allergens. Diagnostic tests such as skin scrapings, allergy testing, and blood work may be used to pinpoint the cause of your pet’s discomfort.

Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the diagnosis, we create a tailored treatment plan that may include:

• Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, or antibiotics to manage symptoms and treat underlying infections.
• Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy: Identifying specific allergens and developing a targeted immunotherapy plan to desensitize your pet over time.
• Special Diets: Hypoallergenic or elimination diets to identify and manage food allergies.
• Topical Treatments: Medicated shampoos, conditioners, and ointments to soothe and heal the skin.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your pet’s progress, adjust treatments as needed, and provide ongoing support to ensure their comfort and well-being.
