Dermatology Care for Pets in Valley

Relief for Your Pet's Skin & Coat Concerns

At Valley Animal Hospital, we understand that your pet's skin and coat are important indicators of their overall health. Skin conditions can be uncomfortable and distressing for pets and owners alike, which is why our experienced veterinary team is here to help diagnose and treat a variety of dermatological issues. 

Common Skin Conditions in Pets 

Pets can experience a range of skin problems that require specialized care. Some of the most common conditions we manage include: 

• Allergies: Whether caused by environmental factors, food, or fleas, allergies can lead to chronic itching and discomfort. 
• Infections: Bacterial, fungal, and yeast infections often result in redness, irritation, and unpleasant odors. 
• Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and mites are not only bothersome but can also cause serious skin reactions. 
• Hot Spots: These painful, inflamed patches can spread quickly without proper treatment. 
• Hair Loss and Coat Problems: Bald patches or changes in coat texture may signal underlying health issues. 
• Ear Infections: Recurring ear problems are often linked to broader skin conditions or allergies. 
• Autoimmune Disorders: Rare but serious, these conditions require expert diagnosis and management. 
• Lumps and Growths: Early evaluation of skin masses is essential to ensure your pet's well-being. 

Signs Your Pet May Need Dermatological Care 

If your pet shows any of these signs, a dermatology consultation might be the next step: 

• Constant scratching, licking, or chewing 
• Red, inflamed, or flaky skin 
• Hair loss or bald patches 
• Unpleasant odors from the skin or ears 
• Recurring ear infections 
• Changes in coat texture or shine 
• Unusual lumps, bumps, or growths
