Diagnosis and Treatment for Skin and Allergy Issues

Dermatology concerns can stem from a variety of causes, including parasites, food sensitivities, environmental allergies, infections, or underlying health issues. We begin with a thorough physical exam and may recommend further testing to pinpoint the issue. Once diagnosed, we’ll build a care plan tailored to your pet’s needs and comfort.

Common Conditions We Treat Include:

  • Itching and scratching – Chronic discomfort caused by allergies, mites, or irritants.

  • Hot spots and rashes – Red, inflamed skin often caused by excessive licking or scratching.

  • Ear infections – Often linked to underlying skin or allergy issues.

  • Allergies (food or environmental) – Diagnosis and management of sensitivities that affect your pet’s skin and overall health.

  • Dry or flaky skin – Treatment and nutritional guidance to support a healthy coat.

  • Fungal and bacterial infections – Topical or oral treatments to clear up infections and prevent recurrence.

  • Parasite-related irritation – Skin issues caused by fleas, mites, or ticks.

  • Hair loss or thinning – Identifying causes and restoring skin and coat health.

  • "This vet and staff are great. How many vets pick up your dog and hug him? After surgery he was hungry and they fed him before I could get there to pick him up. Very fair prices, clean and wonderful!"

    -Dani C.

  • "We have been using Blue Cross through generations of pets. Not only would we recommend him for your pet needs but for your pets end of life needs. The are professional and kind."

    -Sheila F.

  • "Best DVM in Grays Harbor. Excellent prices, but fancy. Been a fixture for decades, and knowledgeable. Kind to my dog too. Gets down on the ground, instead of exciting the animal on the exam table. Great Doc!"

    -Todd S.

  • "This is a really great vet, we've taken both our pups here and have had a terrific experience every time. It's nice to have a very experienced vet that offers options that make sense. I would highly recommend."

    -Dan G.

  • "I just moved to the area and picked Blue Cross off of just Google reviews alone. It was an excellent choice, just like everyone says. Dr. Bergey really seemed to not only care about my pets health, but that I understood what was going on too."

    -Hali S.

  • "I am so thankful I found Blue Cross Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bergey takes time to listen and explain.. Our fur babies mean the world to us and I am so glad to have finally found a vet who cares with a staff that cares."

    -Angie S.

  • "Doc and staff are wonderful, very empathetic and extremely professional. Reasonable rates make decisions much easier also. I hope Doc never retires! Thank you!"
