Dermatology Care for Pets in Omaha

Compassionate Care for Your Pet's Skin and Coat

At Ridgeview Animal Hospital, we know that healthy skin and a shiny coat are more than just signs of good grooming — they reflect your pet's overall health. Skin conditions can be uncomfortable and frustrating for pets and owners alike, which is why our dedicated veterinary team is here to help diagnose and treat a wide range of dermatological issues.

Common Skin Conditions in Pets

Pets can suffer from a variety of skin problems, each requiring specialized attention. Some of the most common conditions we manage include:

• Allergies: From environmental triggers to food sensitivities, allergies can lead to chronic itching and irritation.
• Infections: Bacterial, fungal, and yeast infections often cause redness, odor, and discomfort.
• Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and mites are more than a nuisance — they can seriously affect your pet's skin health.
• Hot Spots: Painful, inflamed patches that can worsen rapidly without treatment.
• Hair Loss and Coat Issues: Bald spots or changes in coat texture can signal deeper health concerns.
• Ear Infections: Often linked to underlying allergies or skin conditions, ear infections require thorough care.
• Autoimmune Disorders: Rare but serious conditions that require expert diagnosis and management.
• Lumps and Growths: Early evaluation of abnormal skin masses is key to your pet's well-being.
