At Coastal Veterinary Dermatology & Ear Clinic we have combined high quality, specialty medical care and veterinary dermatology research in the Houston area for over a decade. With regular patients arriving from McAllen to Dallas and all stops in between, we hope to continue to meet the needs of not only Houston, but the surrounding areas of Texas and Louisiana as well.
There are many different skin and ear conditions that can affect companion animals. Each year, our understanding of these conditions advances, leading to better diagnostic tools and treatment options.
