In this episode of The Family Pet Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Chris Reeder, DVM, DACVD, and owner of Lighthouse Veterinary Allergy and Dermatology, to dive into the world of veterinary dermatology. Did you know that skin and allergy issues are the top reasons pet parents take their furry companions to the vet? Even more alarming, they’re the second leading cause of pet surrenders to animal shelters.
Dr. Reeder shares insights on common dermatological conditions in pets, the importance of accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment options. From itchy skin and ear infections to food allergies and environmental sensitivities, we cover it all. Plus, Dr. Reeder provides practical advice for managing chronic skin conditions and helping pets live more comfortable, itch-free lives.
