We specialize in intradermal and blood allergy testing to identify specific triggers causing skin and ear issues in pets. Our board-certified specialists develop customized immunotherapy plans based on test results. This approach helps manage chronic allergic reactions through targeted desensitization protocols.

Our advanced CO2 laser system provides precise removal of skin growths with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times. This technology effectively treats sebaceous adenomas, viral warts, and pre-cancerous lesions while reducing surgical complications.
Ear Disease Management
We offer comprehensive care for chronic ear infections using video otoscopy and specialized cleaning techniques. Our approach addresses underlying causes like allergies or immune disorders while providing immediate symptom relief through targeted therapies.
