Pet Dermatology & Skin Care Services in Granada Hills, CA.
Does your dog scratch constantly? Does your cat have patches of missing fur, red skin, or recurring skin infections? Skin problems are among the most common and most frustrating issues pet owners deal with. Without the right diagnosis and treatment, they keep coming back. At North Valley Veterinary Clinic in Granada Hills, CA, our dermatology services get to the root of your pet’s skin condition so you can finally get real, lasting relief.
Why Is My Pet’s Skin Problem Not Going Away?
Many pet skin conditions are caused by allergies, parasites, hormonal imbalances, or fungal and bacterial infections. Over-the-counter treatments rarely fix the underlying cause. Without identifying what is triggering the problem, symptoms keep returning, leaving your pet uncomfortable and you frustrated. That’s exactly why a professional veterinary dermatology evaluation matters.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dermatology Care
Excessive scratching, licking, or chewing at skin
Red, irritated, or inflamed skin patches

Hormonal Skin Disorder Treatment
Allergy testing allows us to identify the specific triggers causing your pet’s reaction — whether environmental, food-related, or caused by parasites. Once we know the cause, we can develop a targeted treatment plan. For pets with environmental allergies, hyposensitization therapy gradually reduces their sensitivity over time, providing long-term relief rather than just masking symptoms.
Skin Conditions We Treat
From common allergic reactions to more complex hormonal or fungal conditions, our team has the experience and tools to help. Skin disorders in pets can also be a sign of a deeper systemic health issue, so our evaluations are thorough. We do not just look at the skin—we look at the whole pet.
