Allergy & Dermatology Care for Dogs and Cats in Palm Beach County
Did you know skin issues are among the most common reasons pets visit the vet—especially in South Florida, where allergens thrive year-round? In fact, their skin is a vital organ that shields them from the environment, controls temperature and plays a key role in sensory awareness and overall health.
At Paws Veterinary Clinic, our team of experienced veterinarians is here to help identify the cause and provide thoughtful, customized treatment that brings real relief.
Common Signs of Allergies or Skin Conditions
If your pet is experiencing any of the following, it may be time to schedule a dermatology consultation:
- Persistent itching or scratching
- Chewing, licking, or biting at the skin
- Hair loss or bald patches
- Recurrent ear or skin infections
- Red, inflamed, or flaky skin
- Gastrointestinal issues (vomiting, diarrhea, weight changes)
What Causes Allergies in Pets?
Skin conditions can have internal or external triggers such as:
- Environmental allergies (dust, pollen, mold)
- Food sensitivities or intolerances
- Fleas and other parasites
- Bacterial or fungal infections
- Hormonal imbalances
- Endocrine disease
Our Diagnostic & Treatment Approach
Because no two pets—and no two allergies—are exactly alike, we take a multi-prong approach to finding out what’s behind your pet’s condition, using tools like allergy testing, food trials, parasite checks, and gentle skin evaluations when needed.
Treatment plans may include:
- Oral or injectable allergy medications
- Topical treatments
- Flea prevention and parasite control
- Hypoallergenic or prescription diets
We aim to reduce your pet’s discomfort while minimizing flare-ups by using the safest and most effective options available. Whether soothing itchy skin or managing lifelong allergies, our team is here to support lasting comfort and peace of mind.
