Pets with atopy (atopic dermatitis) often benefit from Allergen Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) – administered as oral drops or allergy injections. This is a process in which allergens are administered to an allergic pet in small amounts, which helps build up a tolerance to allergies.
We offer intradermal allergy testing, the gold standard in diagnosing environmental allergies. The testing helps identify outdoor and indoor allergens causing cat and dog allergies, including grass and tree pollen, environmental moulds, and house dust mites.
Pet dermatologists are specialists in treating ear conditions in dogs and cats. Video-otoscopic evaluations help determine the cause for ear conditions in pets, by aiding in assessment of the external ear canal, ear drums, and the middle ear.
Skin diseases include more than allergic skin disease alone. Bacterial and fungal infection, nail conditions, hair loss, skin tumours, and autoimmune skin disorders may be some other causes of skin discomfort for a pet. A vet dermatologist possesses expertise in differentiating and treating these various skin and ear problems.
Rush immunotherapy is a safe alternative to the traditional allergy immunotherapy build-up. It helps with keeping your pet’s allergy desensitization plan straightforward (no need for pet owners to assess allergic flares and make dosing decisions) and may help improve the rate of efficacy of allergy immunotherapy in pets.
Dermatology Telemedicine Consultations are available for existing clients as follow up appointments for their pets. If you are interested in consulting with our dermatology team, please contact our clinic for details on booking an in-person Initial Consultation.
Extreme cold and freezing can be used to treat benign skin lesions like skin tags, warts, cysts, and other skin and ear conditions. Cryotherapy is performed without the need for sedation and no bleeding. No stitches or cone collars are needed post-procedure. This method offers an effective way to address various skin and ear issues with minimal intervention and recovery time required.
Also called photobiomodulation therapy, this treatment uses light rays of specific wavelengths to help promote skin healing via decreasing inflammation and treatment of skin infection. Light therapy may be used alone to avoid antibiotics, or may be used in combination with prescriptions to help hasten the recovery time and resolution of skin lesions and/or infections.
Dermatological C02 laser treatment can benefit pets in numerous ways, such as removing masses from ears, paws, skin folds, and eyelids, as well as managing various skin problems. It is also effective for treating complicated conditions like chronic paw and ear issues. This treatment helps reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding while promoting a faster recovery after the procedure.
