Dermatology and Allergy

The Section of Dermatology and Allergy evaluates pet animals for all types of skin, ear canal, hair and nail (claw) disorders. Small-animal patients (dogs and cats) are seen by appointment at the Ryan Veterinary Hospital in Philadelphia.Large-animal patients are seen by appointment at the Widener Hospital at New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, PA.

Dermatologists are available for consultation regarding exotic mammals, reptiles and birds, but these patients must come through Ryan's Special Species Service, where specialists in exotic animal medicine are the primary veterinarians providing the evaluation and treatment.

To Make an Appointment

To set up an appointment with Dermatology, please call the Ryan VHUP Appointment Desk at 215-898-4680 (please ask specifically for a Dermatology Appointment when calling).

Referral by the family veterinarian preferred. Since a doctor/client/patient relationship is required prior to making recommendations on diagnosis or treatment, consultation directly with pet owners is not provided until the pet has been examined by a dermatology staff doctor.
