Molds
Dander (animal and people)

WHY YOUR PET NEEDS US

Pet allergies will not go away on their own, and they aren’t always easy to treat. Don’t try to diagnose your pet using online sources, as these may not be credible. Furthermore, certain conditions may clinically present similarly to other conditions, which could easily lead to a misdiagnosis. Our veterinarians are fully qualified to diagnose skin conditions and allergies and provide clients with the tools necessary for managing these problems.

WHAT TO EXPECT OUT OF YOUR PET’S TREATMENT

Managing pet allergies and skin infections can range from easy to challenging, depending on the condition. Keeping an eye open for flare-ups at home and giving your pet’s medication as directed is critical to the treatment’s success. Allergies cannot be cured, but they can be kept firmly under control. Call us at 903-300-1547 immediately if you sense that your pet has a persistent allergy and/or skin problem.
