Itching, irritated skin, recurring ear infections, and allergies can make your pet uncomfortable and may be signs of an underlying health issue. At Mixed Pet Veterinary Hospital, we provide dermatology and allergy care for dogs and cats to diagnose and manage a variety of skin, ear, and allergy-related conditions.
Our veterinary team treats common dog and cat skin diseases, including environmental and food-related allergies, bacterial and yeast infections, hot spots, rashes, hair loss, and chronic ear problems. We’ll work to identify what’s causing your pet’s symptoms and develop a treatment plan focused on providing lasting cat and dog allergy relief.
Skin and ear conditions can have many causes, from allergies and parasites to bacterial or yeast infections. Because similar symptoms can be caused by different conditions, an accurate diagnosis is an important first step toward helping your pet feel better.
Our veterinary dermatology services may include evaluation and treatment for:
Depending on your pet’s symptoms, our veterinarians may recommend diagnostic testing to help determine the cause and guide treatment. For pets with chronic allergies or recurring skin and ear problems, we’ll also work with you to develop a long-term management plan designed to reduce flare-ups and keep your pet comfortable.
Constant scratching, licking, chewing, or rubbing can be a sign of cat or dog skin allergies, parasites, infection, or another dermatologic condition. We’ll help determine what’s causing your pet’s itching and recommend treatment to relieve irritation and support healthier skin.
Redness, odor, bumps, scabs, hair loss, or greasy and flaky skin can indicate a skin infection in dogs or cats. Our veterinarians can diagnose bacterial and yeast infections, provide appropriate treatment, and look for underlying conditions that may be causing infections to return.
Head shaking, ear scratching, redness, odor, or discharge may indicate an ear infection. We’ll examine your pet’s ears, identify signs of infection or inflammation, and recommend treatment. For pets with recurring ear infections, we’ll also consider allergies and other underlying causes.
Skin, allergy, and ear problems don’t just affect how your pet looks—they can significantly impact their comfort and quality of life. If your pet is constantly itching, experiencing recurring ear infections, or developing new or persistent skin changes, our team is here to help.

Persistent itching can be caused by environmental or food allergies, fleas and other parasites, bacterial or yeast infections, or other skin conditions. If your pet is frequently scratching, licking, or chewing their skin, a veterinary exam can help identify the cause and appropriate treatment.
Common signs of a skin infection include redness, itching, bumps, scabs, hair loss, odor, and greasy or flaky skin. Because these symptoms can also occur with allergies and other skin diseases, it’s important to have your pet examined before beginning treatment.
Ear infections may be associated with allergies, bacteria, yeast, moisture, parasites, or other underlying conditions. Pets that repeatedly develop ear infections may benefit from further evaluation to determine why the infections keep returning.
Pet allergies commonly cause itchy skin, paw licking or chewing, face rubbing, redness, hair loss, and recurring skin or ear infections. Unlike people, dogs and cats with allergies often experience skin-related symptoms rather than primarily sneezing or watery eyes.

Treatment depends on the suspected cause and may include medications, topical treatments, dietary changes, parasite prevention, or other recommendations based on your pet’s needs.
