Approximately 25% of dog visits to the veterinarian involve problems with the skin and hair coat. Even in dogs not experiencing an adverse reaction to food, the skin and hair coat can be affected by many nutritional factors. If your dog is having issues with their skin, please give us a call at 361-573-3200
Has your cat been itching more often? Atopic dermatitis (atopy) is a common cause of skin problems in cats. When a cat with allergies encounters an environmental protein to which it is allergic, it sets off a reaction leading to skin problems. If you suspect your cat has a new skin problem, call your veterinarian to schedule a visit 🐾

July is Lost Pet Prevention Month!
Shelters and rescues have an influx of stray pets enter their facilities in July, many of whom have run off during fireworks or storms. Ensure your pet is reunited with you, with a microchip. Unlike collars, this is a permanent identification that cannot fall off of your pet. It is important to keep your contact information up to date with your microchip company. Call us today at 361-573-3200 today for more information!
