Dermatology

Evaluation and management of skin diseases that can cause discomfort and pain.

Our furry friends need skin care routines too. Did you know pets can get sunburn? They can develop skin cancer from too much sun exposure. They can also get dandruff, acne, rashes from allergies/parasites, and many more skin issues. We can help you deal with these problems should they arise, so your pet’s skin is always looking, smelling and feeling great. Call us at 902-543-5602 for more info on our dermatology services.
