Dermatology

Skin disorders are common but frustrating problems in pets. Without effective treatment, these disorders can develop into serious health issues. Here at WVRC – Grafton, we strive to find the root of the problem and focus on sustainable long-term management.

Our dermatology team will work in conjunction with you and your regular veterinarian to provide the comprehensive care your pet needs.

Our team is here to help with all types of dermatologic problems. Dr. Mazulis has extensive training in the management of allergic, infectious (e.g., bacterial, fungal, viral), parasitic, congenital, and autoimmune skin diseases, dander related skin disorders, alopecia (hair loss), and benign and malignant skin cancers. The dermatology team also specializes in the management of chronic infections and inflammatory conditions of the ears, which are generally related to skin disorders, allergies, hair coat changes, acute and chronic ear problems, and auto-immune diseases, to name a few of the more common conditions.

Seeking early consultation with our dermatology team can help to manage your pet’s skin and ear problems more safely and effectively, and often more economically.
