Allergies & Dermatology

Bark & Heal Veterinary

At Bark & Heal Veterinary, we recognize how distressing skin issues and allergies can be for your pet and how concerning they are for you. Our specialized Allergies & Dermatology services are crafted to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting your pet’s skin, coat, and overall well-being, ensuring they stay comfortable and happy.

Comprehensive Care for Itchy, Irritated Pets

Skin problems in pets may arise from allergies, infections, parasites, or other health concerns. Our experienced team, led by skilled veterinarians, employs advanced diagnostics to identify the root cause and develop personalized treatment plans. 

Whether it’s a dog with persistent scratching, a cat with thinning fur, or an exotic pet with unusual skin changes, we’re dedicated to restoring their comfort and vitality.

Common Conditions We Treat

• Environmental Allergies: Reactions to pollen, dust, or mold leading to itching or redness.
• Food Allergies: Identifying dietary triggers through elimination diets and testing.
• Flea and Parasite Infestations: Effective prevention and treatment for fleas, mites, and ticks.
• Skin Infections: Addressing bacterial or fungal issues, such as hot spots or yeast dermatitis.
• Chronic Conditions: Managing ongoing challenges like atopic dermatitis or autoimmune disorders.

We suggest annual wellness exams for most pets to monitor their health and address issues early. For senior pets (over 7 years for dogs, 10 for cats) or those with chronic conditions, biannual exams are recommended for timely care.

If your pet shows severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, seizures, uncontrolled bleeding, or sudden collapse, contact our clinic or the nearest 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital immediately. Keep our emergency contact number accessible and, if possible, call ahead to prepare for your arrival.

Pet nutritional needs vary by age, breed, size, and health status. We recommend high-quality commercial pet food or a vet-approved homemade diet. Avoid toxic human foods like chocolate, grapes, or onions, and consult your veterinarian for tailored dietary advice.
