Pet Dermatolgy and Itchy Skin Care

Skin problems are common in dogs and cats and can be caused by hormonal disorders, allergies, infections, or parasites such as fleas and mites. Pets can be allergic to allergens in their household environment, outside environment, or even their food. Symptoms can range from itchiness and ear or eye infections, to constant licking and even vomiting or diarrhea. Many pets suffer from allergies which can directly affect their quality of life, as well as their owner’s.

These issues can be particularly difficult to treat and should be addressed promptly for your pet's comfort and sanity.

We can often diagnose a skin problem by simply examining your pet. Some dermatologic diseases or conditions do require additional diagnostic procedures to ensure a correct diagnosis. Depending on your pet’s symptoms and the results of our physical exam, we may run blood work or perform a urinalysis, skin scraping, or biopsies. These results will guide your pet’s veterinarian decide what treatment options are best for you and your pet, and what will allow the quickest resolution of your pet’s skin condition.

Providing 5-Star Pet Care in Houston

This is the ONLY place I will take my fur babies. Dr. Randy is the absolute best!! The entire staff are pet lovers and it shows in how they treat their patients. They will give you the information you need to make decisions and offer many options. They do NOT push unnecessary tests or products on you and they have great prices on the GOOD food your baby needs. They have free for life vaccinations, as well.

Absolutely fantastic "club" discount prices (and free basic vaccines) with a single one-time cheap membership price, as long as you bring your pet in for a checkup once a year. Fantastic staff, and to give you an idea of how well they think things through, the front desk is a big circle with 2 check-in stations... one on each side so you can do things while your leashed pet can't see the other leashed pet over there on the other side.

WHVMA provides such loving and thorough care for my dogs. While their services are expensive, the staff is knowledgeable, makes sure you understand all procedures/treatments, and they treat your animals like family. I highly recommend!

I was driving thru the area and needed a vet quick (swollen faced puppy). Of all the vets I calles, only here did they respond me positively and immediately to get me in. The staff was all wonderful and I wish this was my hometown vet! Highly recommend to anyone in the area!
