Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 10 days old

She has two bald spots on the back of her leg that almost look like scabs and we are worried it is ringworm. If she comes in for vaccinations will the vet be able to treat her

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! VetCo, which is the vaccination services offered at some PetCo's, doesn't treat illnesses or skin conditions. It is a WELLNESS clinic, so they only see healthy pets with out any issues. I recommend seeing a Vet at a hospital or clinic for Mia's skin issues. It is possible that it is a skin infection. If you want to post a picture we'd be happy to help you. Have a great day!
