Animal Allergy and Dermatology

Founded by Dr. Dunbar Gram in 1991, Animal Allergy and Dermatology is a full time veterinary dermatology specialty practice dedicated in providing the latest and most advanced dermatological care available. It is our hope that with a foundation of exceptional service and years of experience, we will continue our mission by providing primary care  veterinarians the support needed to meet the needs of their patients and clients. Currently, Animal Allergy and Dermatology is operating out of four locations throughout Virginia. As specialists, we strive to stay current on newly recognized diseases and therapies. We only treat animals with skin diseases or allergies. We do not provide services unrelated to dermatology or allergy.

Your Veterinarian

When your veterinarian refers your pet to a specialist, this indicates that your veterinarian cares about your pet and wants the problem treated in the safest, most up-to-date manner possible. Optimal patient care requires close communication among the client, dermatologist and referring veterinarian. At the conclusion of your appointment, we will notify your veterinarian of our clinical findings and treatment recommendations. Because we only treat patients with dermatological or allergy problems, your veterinarian will continue to provide comprehensive veterinary care.

We offer special procedures such as: 

v INTRADERMAL ALLERGY  TESTING

v HISTOPATHOLOGY AND BIOPSIES

v  HORMONAL TESTING

If you have been referred to us for intradermal allergy testing, please follow this guideline:

It is preferable that the following medications are not given for the appropriate lengths of time prior to the evaluation:

Long Acting Injectable Steroids, 4-8 weeks

Oral Steroids, 3-4 weeks

Topical Steroids, (eyes, ears, skin), 10 days
