There is a common misconception that food allergies cause skin problems in pets. However, these types of allergies are actually quite rare. In fact, environmental allergies are the most common cause of allergies in pets.

During this webcast, dermatogy specialist Dr. Gabrielle Brosseau will discuss food and environmental allergies, as well as parasitic, viral, bacterial, fungal, inflammatory, and autoimmune dermatoses, which especially affect puppies and kittens.
