Skin Irritaion

Fleas and ticks are notorious for causing skin irritation and discomfort with your pet. If you notice any hair loss, bug bites, or even hot spots, your pet may be having an allergic reaction from the saliva of the insect’s bite.

Allergies

Did you know? While direct contact with an allergen can cause skin issues with your pet, most of the topical reactions you see are caused by your pet’s diet.

Skin Infections

Bacterial, yeast and fungal skin infections are all types of topical skin issues your pet can be experiencing from being exposed to certain elements. The best way to treat these issues is by narrowing down the source.

Hair Loss

Hair loss and skin issues are frequently related. Ringworm (fungus) and sarcoptic mange (mites) can create bald spots from hair loss around your pet’s body. Senior pets experience hair loss more commonly in areas of the body that are in constant contact with the floor or bedding.

Rash

A rash on your pet’s skin may be caused by exposure to harsh substances, like; road salt, poison ivy, industrial chemical, and even certain shampoos.

Lumps

It’s important to thoroughly check your pet for lumps, especially as they get older. If you feel a lump on your pet’s body, your vet can determine whether the area is benign or in need of further treatment by doing a few simple tests.
