Dermatology & Allergy Control

Pet allergies are quite common and can frustrating for many pet parents. If your pet itches or scratches more than normal, consider having him or her checked for allergies.

Scratching and licking damages the skin over time and puts your pet at risk for bacterial and yeast infections, making their condition even harder to treat and them more uncomfortable. Early detection means we can prevent their condition from getting worse and help them get better.

Allergy treatment may take time and patience in order for your pet to be in recovery. If your pet has developed a secondary skin infection, we'll need to identify the cause of your pet’s allergies, then select a treatment that is both safe and effective for your pet.

We’re always available to answer your questions and offer support to help you and your pet through the challenge-but ultimate reward-of helping them through allergies.

I have been going to this clinic for 24 years. I think that tells you all you
need to know.

— Alex T.

Everyone from the receptionist, the vet techs to the Doctors are so helpful, professional and knowledgeable. My dogs and I feel so comfortable and trust them so much! Dr. Sokol was able to identify a rare disease that my new dog had and established a new diet and treatment plan ASAP. The communication of this plan was perfect and the plan has worked wonders for my dog. I will continue to be a loyal client for years to come.

— Wendy M.

I've been bringing my pets to North Springs Animal Clinic since I moved to Sandy Springs 12 years ago. My pets get great care here. The office staff and the vets are wonderful. I know they really care about my furbabies.
