Why you should not ignore your pet’s skin

Your pet’s skin is more than just a coat of fur. Rather than waiting for skin flare-ups to occur, keep tabs on your pet’s health, consult with your veterinarian promptly, and always have a reliable treatment plan in place. Parasite control is also an important aspect of skincare.One of the most common mistakes I see pet parents make is not being regular with flea treatment, whether it’s a good old spot-on or a tick and flea preventative tablet, says Dr Somani. According to Dr Somani, a recent survey revealed that 73% of pet owners worldwide visit their primary veterinarian at least three times, and 40% make at least five visits before seeing a dermatology specialist. Taking good care of your pet’s skin will not only keep them looking their best but also contribute to their overall health and happiness.
