Skin Problems in Pets: What to Watch For
Allergies and dermatologic issues show up in different ways depending on your pet. Some scratch constantly, others lick until their paws are raw. Cats might quietly overgroom or hide more than usual. Here are the most common causes we see:
Symptoms can be easy to miss at first. But if your pet is scratching more than usual, shaking their head, or showing patches of hair loss, it’s time for a closer look.
What Our Dermatology Services Include
Skin and allergy care at Duluth Veterinary Hospital starts with the basics: listening to you and examining your pet. From there, we use diagnostics and long-term planning to manage or resolve the problem.

Why Families Across the Northland Turn to Us
Since the 1940s, Duluth Veterinary Hospital has served dogs and cats with compassion, experience, and modern veterinary tools. We’re proud of what makes us different:
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, our team will treat your pet with the same care we’d want for our own.
What to Expect During a Skin Appointment
Your visit begins with a conversation. What have you noticed? What changed recently? Have there been food switches or changes in your pet’s environment?
From there, we perform a full exam and, if needed, diagnostic testing. We’ll walk you through the results, explain what’s going on in plain language, and offer realistic options based on your budget and goals.
Every case is different. Some pets respond quickly to treatment; others need a little more trial and error. But we stay in touch, adjust the plan when needed, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort.
