Parasites and allergens don’t just affect pets—they can also impact the people in your home. Many parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can spread from pets to humans through bites, contaminated soil, or contact with fleas or stool.

For your pet, untreated skin issues can lead to serious health problems, including

  • Frequent scratching, licking, or chewing

  • Red or inflamed skin

  • Hair loss or thinning coat

  • Scabs or skin sores

  • Recurrent ear infections

  • Unpleasant skin odor

  • Red bumps or irritated areas

  • Vomiting or diarrhea in some cases

Chronic skin problems can reduce your pet’s quality of life, leading to infection, lethargy, or a decreased appetite. While allergies are a frequent cause, other conditions such as parasites, mites, immune disorders, metabolic diseases, or nutritional deficiencies can also trigger skin issues. A veterinary evaluation is essential to identify the cause and start the right treatment.
