Pet Dermatology in Wimberley, TX
Help your pet feel comfortable in their own skin with advanced veterinary dermatology care.
At Wimberley Veterinary Clinic, we understand how frustrating it is to see your pet constantly itching, licking, or suffering from chronic skin or ear issues. Our dermatology services are designed to get to the root of the problem — whether it’s allergies, infections, or an underlying condition — and provide long-term relief. We treat cats, dogs, and exotics with compassionate, customized care to restore their skin health and quality of life.
Signs Your Pet May Have a Skin Condition
Pets can develop a wide range of dermatological problems that often require veterinary attention. Let us know if your dog or cat is showing any of the following:
- Constant licking, scratching, or chewing
- Recurrent ear infections or yeast buildup
- Hair loss, bald patches, or dull coat
- Red, flaky, or irritated skin
- Swelling around the face, eyes, or lips
- Unusual odor from skin or ears
- Sneezing, coughing, or wheezing
Common Allergies and Skin Issues in Pets
Our team diagnoses and treats a variety of dermatologic conditions, including:
Environmental Allergies
Reactions to pollen, mold, dust, or other airborne irritants.
Flea Allergy Dermatitis
Hypersensitivity to flea saliva, leading to intense itching.
Food Allergies
Often cause skin and digestive problems due to ingredients like proteins or additives.
Contact Dermatitis
Irritation from surfaces like grass, cleaning products, or plastics.
Ear Infections
Often secondary to allergies or yeast overgrowth, particularly in floppy-eared dogs.
We use advanced diagnostics — including skin scrapings, cytology, and bloodwork — to determine the cause of your pet’s symptoms and recommend a tailored treatment plan.
Relief Through Personalized Treatment
Every pet is unique, and their dermatology care should be, too. Depending on your pet’s diagnosis, we may recommend:
- Antihistamines, steroids, or other medications
- Hypoallergenic prescription diets
- Medicated baths or topical treatments
- Ear cleaning and infection management
- Flea and parasite control
- Allergy testing or long-term immunotherapy
We also offer chronic care management and partner with local specialists as needed to ensure your pet gets the very best care.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Left untreated, skin conditions can worsen quickly and lead to pain, infection, and serious complications. Constant scratching damages your pet’s skin barrier, increasing their risk for secondary infections and long-term inflammation. It can also affect their mood and quality of life.
Our goal is to address the cause — not just the symptoms — and support your pet’s comfort and health long-term.
