What Is Animal Dermatology Group?

Animal Dermatology Group is a veterinary specialty company focused on pet skin conditions, with board-certified veterinary dermatologists practicing across a network of clinics in the United States. It is the right resource if your pet has a recurring or complex skin, ear, or coat problem that a general veterinarian wants evaluated by a specialist, or if you are a veterinarian seeking a referral partner or dermatopathology support.

What the organization does

The group describes itself as a veterinary dermatology specialty company whose specialists treat pet skin conditions. Its work centers on dermatology rather than general practice, so appointments and services are aimed at diagnosing and managing skin-related disease.

The site organizes its offering around three audiences:

• Pet owners — request an appointment, use the pharmacy, find a location, and read FAQs.
• Veterinarians — refer a patient, access a veterinary referral portal, and use clinical support and dermatopathology services.
• International clients — international dermatopathology and immunotherapy services are listed alongside the clinic network.

Services listed

The homepage presents an "Animal Dermatology Services We Provide" section, and the navigation names these specific service lines:

The page does not publish prices, insurance details, or eligibility rules for these services, so cost and coverage should be confirmed directly with the specific clinic.

What "board certified" means here

The site includes a section titled "What is a Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist?" — a signal that the credential is central to how the group positions its care. In practical terms, this tells you the clinicians have completed specialty training and certification in veterinary dermatology beyond a standard veterinary degree. If your pet's problem has not resolved with routine treatment, this is the level of expertise the group is advertising.

Finding a clinic

The clinic network is the most concrete part of the site. Locations are grouped by state, and the list is long enough that most pet owners in the covered regions will find a nearby option. States with listed clinics include:

How to use the site

1. If you are a pet owner: start with "Request an Appointment" or "Find a Clinic." Have your general veterinarian's records ready, since specialty visits typically depend on a referral or prior history.
2. If you are a veterinarian: use "Refer a Patient" or the "Veterinary Referral Portal" to send a case, and the dermatopathology route if you need a skin sample read.
3. If you need medication: the pharmacy section is intended for prescriptions tied to your pet's care, not general retail shopping.

What to check before you go

The site does not state pricing, wait times, or whether a referral is mandatory at every location. Before booking, confirm with the individual clinic:

• whether a referral from your primary veterinarian is required;
• what records or biopsy samples to bring;
• accepted payment methods and whether insurance is billed directly;
• availability for the specific condition your pet has.

For owners of pets with chronic itching, ear infections, or hair loss that has not responded to standard treatment, this network is a reasonable place to look for a specialist — provided there is a clinic in your state and you confirm referral requirements first.
