Dermatology Care for Pets in Omaha

Expert Care for Your Pet’s Skin and Coat

At Omaha Vets Group, we know that your pet's skin and coat are more than just fur and fluff — they’re key indicators of their overall health. Skin conditions can cause discomfort, impact quality of life, and sometimes point to underlying health issues. Our dedicated veterinary team across our network of hospitals is here to diagnose and treat a wide range of dermatological concerns, helping your pet feel their best. 

Common Dermatological Issues in Pets 

Pets can experience a variety of skin problems, many requiring specialized care. Some common conditions we treat include: 

  • Allergies: Environmental, food, or flea-related allergies can cause itchy, inflamed skin. 
  • Skin Infections: Bacterial, fungal, and yeast infections can lead to redness, odor, and discomfort. 
  • Parasites: Mites, fleas, and ticks not only irritate the skin but can also spread disease. 
  • Hot Spots: Acute moist dermatitis often results from excessive licking or scratching. 
  • Hair Loss and Coat Disorders: Conditions causing bald patches or changes in coat texture. 
  • Ear Infections: Often linked to allergies or skin conditions. 
  • Autoimmune Skin Diseases: Rare but serious conditions that require specialized treatment. 
  • Tumors or Skin Growths: Evaluation and treatment for lumps, bumps, or abnormal growths.
