Pets frequently suffer from skin conditions which can be uncomfortable and difficult to treat without proper care. Fortunately, pet telehealth services offer a convenient and efficient way to get professional advice and treatment for these common issues, without the need to visit a clinic.

Some common skin conditions in dogs and cats include:

• Allergies
  Environmental and food allergies can cause skin and coat issues. Allergic dermatitis, also known as “hot spots”, can cause inflamed, red, dry, bumpy, and itchy skin.
• Ringworm
  A highly contagious fungal infection that can cause hair loss, scaling, and inflamed skin.
• Yeast infections
  Can cause itchy, inflamed skin, often affecting the ears, paws, and folds.
• Hot spots
  Caused by excessive licking, biting, or scratching one part of their body.
• Mange
  A serious skin condition caused by several species of mites.
• Acne
  Most commonly seen in cats and dogs, acne typically develops in middle age.
• Dry skin
  Can be caused by a number of factors, including environment, allergies, dehydration, and dietary issues.
