Dog Dermatitis

Symptoms

Red, itchy skin, flaking, and hair loss due to constant licking and scratching. Open sores can form, leading to infections if untreated.

Target Breeds

Bulldogs, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers are particularly prone to dermatitis due to skin sensitivity.

When to Visit the Vet

If you notice persistent itching, redness, or sores that don’t heal within a few days, consult your vet.

Pet Skin Allergies

Symptoms

Chronic itching, redness, dry skin, ear infections, and hot spots caused by allergens like food or fleas.

Target Breeds

Labrador Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, and Terriers are more susceptible to skin allergies.ƒ

When to Visit the Vet

If your pet shows signs of constant scratching, skin redness, or recurring ear infections, seek veterinary care

Fungal Infections

Symptoms

Hair loss, flaky or scaly skin, and red patches that may cause your pet to scratch or lick excessively.

Target Breeds

Pets with weakened immune systems or those exposed to other animals are at a higher risk of fungal infections.

When to Visit the Vet

If you notice circular hair loss or scaly patches, contact your vet immediately, as fungal infections are contagious.

Symptoms

Red, moist, inflamed areas caused by excessive licking or scratching. These can grow quickly and become painful.

If hot spots grow, become infected, or cause severe discomfort, bring your pet to the vet for immediate care.
