Is your pet’s itchy skin keeping you both up at night?
There are a variety of ailments that can affect a companion animal’s skin, and the symptoms can be quite unpleasant. You don’t want your pal to suffer and neither do we!
The professional allergy and dermatology services at The WellPet Group will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.
Diagnosing the Problem
To help your pet feel better, we must determine precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong through an external exam, or we may need to investigate further. Diagnostic tools like blood work, skin scrapings, and biopsies help us get the answers we need to move forward with a cure.
Some dermatological issues we routinely assist with include:
- Allergies (food and/or environmental)
- Infections (acute or chronic)
- Parasites
- Dermatitis
- Hormonal disorders
- Autoimmune diseases
- Tumors
- Skin cancer
Developing a Treatment Plan
Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is deciding how to best treat it. Depending on the situation, we may recommend something as straightforward as applying a topical cream. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of multiple treatment methods.
Signs of a possible skin problem include:
- Excessive scratching
- Scabbing or flaking of the skin
- Hot spots
- Shedding more than usual
- Biting, chewing or licking at the affected area
- Bumps or lumps on or under the skin
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an evaluation. Contact The WellPet Group. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.

I've been a member of WPG for about three years. Every time my girl Alie gets sick or hurt in any way, the WPG has been there to make her better, including weekend emergency visits when they're closed. Everyone there's very friendly. They all know my dog by name and greet her as soon as she walks in the door. They've never failed us. Five stars and a BIG thank you for taking care of ANY and ALL of Alie's health concerns.
Wellpet is hands down the best veterinary practice in Rockbridge County. Dr Logan and his staff are some of the kindest, most patient, and dedicated group of people I’ve ever met. They saved the lives of two of my rescue kitties and keep my pup healthy. 10/10 will always recommend.
My puppy (Milo) got into some things that he shouldn’t have. I was very worried about an obstruction. Dr Logan met us there at night and took very good care of our sweet boy. He called us the next morning with updates. He’s VERY reasonably priced and obviously cares about the animals he sees. I couldn’t recommend a vet anymore than I recommend him.
Wellpet group is family caring for family! Whether skin or furr, when you walk into wellpet it's always a welcoming environment, full of a staff of knowledgeable and helpful professionals whom are willingly pouring thier hearts into caring for animals. Dr. Logan has helped me with our furr kids for ever! Even once when I had a piglet with pneumonia, he just said bring it on in and we will take a look and see why the little fella isn't feeling well. I have consulted with him about poultry concerns and always walked away confident and with the knowledge of how to best help a chicken. Our kitties and dog are well known by the staff and never seem to mind going in for routine care or emergency or wound care. The office is decorated nicely and very comfortable anytime you need to stay and wait. In a small community like ours everyone knows everyone, but the environment in Wellpet is more like everyone is family, everyone is always on first name basis, and even sometimes how's your mom and dad and em'. I've known Dr. Logan since I was around 7 and cannot and will not reccomend any other better than he. His experience and service to treating animals is likely longer than I am old, and I hope he never quits! So whether you've been there before or not, take your furr family in to meet the staff and qualified Veternarians on duty for routine care or emergencies and find out for yourself how wonderful and awesome Wellpet Group really is!
