Summary
Dr. Charli Dong, DACVD, joins the podcast to tackle one of the most frustrating and common cases in practice: the itchy dog that just will not get better. If you have ever had a client convinced it is “just a food allergy” while their dog continues to suffer, this episode is your playbook. Dr. Dong breaks down canine atopic dermatitis in a way that actually makes sense, from puppies presenting earlier than expected to the messy overlap between food allergies and environmental triggers.
