Dermatology is a field within veterinary medicine that focuses on the treatment or management of conditions relating to a pet’s skin, ear, hair, and claws.   As the largest organ in cats and dogs, there is no surprise that skin-related visits are some of the most common appointments at primary care clinics. From allergies to infections, the list of potential dermatological problems in pets is extensive. Skin-related symptoms can also be a sign of an underlying internal condition. Thankfully, most dermatological conditions in pets can be fully cured or well managed given that you seek help early, regularly meet with a veterinarian, and follow your pet’s recommended treatment plan at home.
