There are many underlying causes of itching in dogs. Your dog may have an infection, parasites, or allergies. All require treatment to stop the itching, chewing, and licking, but knowing the underlying cause is important, especially if an allergen is suspected as the culprit.

Dogs and cats, just like humans, can have allergies. In fact more than 30% of all skin irritations in our pets can be attributed to allergies.  These allergies can come from foods, inhaled allergens like weed, tree, and grass pollens, fungi, even insects and storage mites.
Since there is no known “cure” for allergies and the prospect of avoiding all the things your pet reacts to is unrealistic. We offer comprehensive allergy testing to determine your pets specific allergens. Once we know your pets cause of itching we have a range of medications, shampoos, and foods to help resolve the itch.
