How to Request an Appointment or Use the Pharmacy at Animal Dermatology Group

To request a visit, start at animaldermatology.com and use the Request an Appointment link, or first use Find a Clinic to confirm which location is most convenient. For medications, the site provides a Pharmacy section for pet owners. Both paths are listed under the site's "How can we help?" area for pet owners, alongside Find a Location and FAQ. The site does not publish online booking rules, pharmacy eligibility, or pricing, so treat the site as the entry point and confirm details with the clinic you choose.

Before You Start

• Know which clinic you want. Animal Dermatology Group lists locations across many states, including multiple clinics within California, Texas, Florida, and other states. Choosing a clinic first makes the appointment request and any follow-up pharmacy questions easier to route.
• Have your pet's basic information ready. A request form typically asks for owner contact details, pet name and species, and a short description of the skin problem. The site itself does not publish the exact form fields, so fill in what is asked and add context in any message field.
• Check whether you need a referral. The site separates pet-owner tools from veterinarian tools such as Refer a Patient and a Veterinary Referral Portal. If your primary veterinarian is sending you, ask them whether they will refer you through that portal.

Request an Appointment: Step by Step

1. Go to animaldermatology.com.
2. Select Request an Appointment from the main navigation or the pet-owner help area.
3. Choose or confirm the clinic location. If you are unsure, open Find a Clinic first and note the city and state.
4. Enter your contact information and your pet's details, and describe the skin, ear, or coat issue briefly.
5. Submit the request and watch for a reply from the clinic. The site does not state response times, so if you need urgent help, call the clinic directly using the contact details on its location page.

Expected result: the clinic receives your request and contacts you to schedule. A submitted request is not a confirmed appointment until the clinic responds.

If You Are Not Sure Which Clinic to Pick

Use Find a Clinic and scan by state. The location list includes, for example, Bakersfield, San Diego, and Sacramento in California; Austin, Dallas, and Frisco in Texas; and clinics in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Pick the closest clinic, or the one you can realistically travel to for follow-up visits, since dermatology care often involves rechecks.

Use the Pharmacy

1. From the site navigation, select Pharmacy.
2. Follow the pharmacy instructions shown there. The site does not publish whether the pharmacy is open to new patients, whether a current visit is required, or how prescriptions are transmitted, so confirm these points with your clinic.
3. If you are already a client, have your pet's record and the medication name handy when you contact the clinic about a refill or a pharmacy question.

Expected result: you reach the pharmacy channel the group uses for pet owners. Because the site does not state eligibility or pricing, do not assume the pharmacy is open to the public or that medications ship without a clinic relationship.

Common Stops and How to Get Around Them

• The request form does not confirm a time. That is normal for a request-based flow. Follow up by phone if you have not heard back within a reasonable period.
• You are unsure whether your pet needs a dermatologist. The site's FAQ and Educational Videos sections for pet owners explain common skin conditions and what a board certified veterinary dermatologist does. The site describes these specialists as treating pet skin conditions, which helps you judge whether a referral makes sense.
• Your regular vet wants to send records. Point them to Refer a Patient or the Veterinary Referral Portal rather than sending records through the pet-owner appointment request.
• You need a medication quickly. Contact the clinic directly; the website does not publish turnaround times for pharmacy requests.

What the Site Does and Does Not Tell You

The site also offers Immunotherapy and International Dermatopathology among its services, which is useful context if your pet's care may involve allergy treatment or skin sample review. Ask the clinic whether these apply to your case rather than assuming they are part of a first visit.
