Earlier Dermatology Referral Rewards Primary Care Practice

Part 1
If your pet is dealing with persistent skin issues, seeking an earlier referral to a veterinary dermatologist can lead to more effective treatment and potentially reduce overall expenses. A survey by the American College of Veterinary Dermatology (ACVD) found that pets referred sooner required fewer visits and achieved better outcomes. Discussing a dermatology referral with your primary care veterinarian after a few visits without improvement can enhance your pet’s comfort and health.
