Diagnosing Dermatological Problems

Accurately diagnosing the cause of your pet’s skin issues is the first step toward effective treatment. Our experienced veterinary team conducts thorough examinations and may use diagnostic tools such as blood work, skin scrapings, and biopsies. These tests help us identify the underlying cause of your pet’s discomfort, whether it be allergies, infections, parasites, or other dermatological concerns.
