Skin & Coat Care That Brings Comfort and Relief

If your pet is constantly scratching, losing fur, or dealing with red, irritated skin, you’re not alone—and we can help. At Lake City Animal Health & Wellness Center, we’re experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of skin conditions, so your pet can feel comfortable in their own fur again.

When It’s More Than Just an Itch

Skin issues can show up in a lot of different ways—from flaky patches and hair loss to constant licking or ear infections. These problems can be uncomfortable (or downright painful) for your pet, and frustrating for you as a pet parent. The good news? Many skin conditions are treatable with the right care plan.

Common Dermatology Concerns We Treat

Our team can help diagnose and manage a variety of skin, coat, and ear problems, including:

• Allergies (food, seasonal, or environmental)
• Chronic itching, scratching, or licking

• Hair loss or thinning fur

How We Help

We take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating dermatological conditions. Depending on your pet’s symptoms, we may use a combination of the following:

• Skin scrapings, cultures, or cytology to pinpoint the cause
• Allergy testing and management plans
• Medicated shampoos and topical treatments
• Prescription diets for food sensitivities
