Strong Skin Happy Pets – Understanding Skin Barrier and Allergies in Dogs
In the first episode of the Strong Skin Happy Pets series, Dr. Brittany Lancellotti is joined by board-certified veterinary dermatologist Dr. Mollie Mesman to explore the foundation of healthy skin: the skin barrier. They break down what the skin barrier is, how it functions, and why it plays such a critical role in dogs and cats with allergies. Using real-life examples and practical explanations, this episode helps pet owners understand why chronic itch, infections, and flare-ups often keep coming back. The series is proudly sponsored by Dechra, a leader in veterinary dermatology solutions that support skin barrier health.
