🐾 Itchy Pet Awareness Month 🐾
Is your pet constantly scratching, licking, chewing, or rubbing? There can be many reasons for an itchy pet. Allergies, fleas and ticks, and skin infections can all cause discomfort—but thankfully, there are ways to help! ❤️
For fleas and ticks, monthly prevention such as NexGard, Bravecto, and Simparica Trio can help protect your pets.
When allergies or skin infections are suspected, the process starts with a thorough exam. We’ll address any damaged or irritated skin and work to determine what is causing the itch so we can create the right treatment plan.
For severely itchy dogs, medications such as Apoquel and Cytopoint may provide relief. Cats with significant itching may also benefit from medications such as prednisolone, when appropriate.
If your pet is itchy or experiencing other skin problems, don’t let them suffer! 🐶🐱
