for Itchy Pets in South Texas 

​

Does your animal constantly itch, scratch or lick itself? Without knowing, some owners may think these are pesky habits, however, they could be signs of allergies or other skin disorders. Painful rashes, irritated sores or other sources of uncomfortable itching causes hair loss, infection and a yeasty smell. Our goal is to identify the underlying cause of your pet’s allergy or dermatology condition and administer effective treatments.

​

SIGNS YOUR PET MAY NEED A DERMATOLOGY CONSULTATION:

A majority of pet allergies are caused by external parasites, environmental allergens, or food allergens. Our Veterinarians begin with an exam of your pet and conduct tests to identify the underlying cause of your pet’s allergy. We determine whether the root of the condition is a behavioral issue, parasite infestation, skin infection, ect. LOCVS also offers allergy testing to explore the underlying cause for skin irritation including environmental or food allergies. Common signs of pet allergies include:

​

• Constant Ear infections

• Hair loss

• Inflamed toes or ears

• Itchy skin

• Constant licking

• Scooting
