My dog has chronic skin issues. When should I see a pet dermatologist?

Dr. Angel, you are absolutely correct. It has been a longgggg run with her and her skin issues. I lost count on how many times she’s been to the vet. Really hoping the serum works as it is made for her specific allergen. If not then I will have to travel to a pet dermatologist. I looked at the link you sent me and there wasn’t any near me (an hour or more away) but I’m still keeping it on hand. I can keep you updating if you like? I like to keep Dr. Melanie in the loop so I lost on here often.

Thanks for keeping me in the loop, Mariah! We do love updates, so please keep them coming. Try the serum, and if it doesn't work, I think the trip to the veterinary dermatologist is best for Mia. I hope this helps!
