Helping Your Pet Feel Comfortable in Their Own Skin

At The Ridge Veterinary Clinic, we know that skin issues can be more than just a nuisance for pets — they can affect their overall well-being. Our skilled veterinary team is dedicated to diagnosing and treating a wide range of dermatological conditions to help your furry friend feel their best. 

Common Skin Conditions in Pets We Treat 

Pets can experience a variety of skin problems, and identifying the root cause is key to effective treatment. Some common conditions we address include: 

• Allergies: Environmental, food, and flea allergies can lead to persistent itching and discomfort. 
• Infections: Bacterial, fungal, and yeast infections often result in irritation, odor, and inflammation. 
• Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and mites can cause severe itching, hair loss, and secondary infections. 
• Hot Spots: Painful, inflamed areas that can spread quickly if left untreated. 
• Hair Loss and Coat Problems: Thinning fur or changes in coat quality may indicate underlying health issues. 
• Ear Infections: Often connected to broader skin conditions, ear infections require proper diagnosis and management. 
• Autoimmune Disorders: Rare but serious, these conditions affect the skin and require specialized care. 
• Lumps and Growths: Early evaluation of abnormal growths is crucial for your pet's health. 

Signs Your Pet May Need Dermatological Care 

If your pet is experiencing any of these signs, a dermatology consultation may be the next step: 

• Excessive scratching, licking, or chewing 
• Red, inflamed, or flaky skin 
• Hair loss or bald spots 
• Foul odor from the skin or ears 
• Recurring ear infections 
• Changes in coat texture or shine 
• Lumps, bumps, or unusual growths
