Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic conditions in dogs, causing intense itching and skin inflammation that severely compromises quality of life, with significant treatment advances in recent years.
Dogs with atopic dermatitis suffer chronic itch that disrupts sleep, play, and normal social interaction. The secondary infections that develop in chronically scratched skin cause additional pain and welfare compromise. New targeted therapies including JAK inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies provide rapid, effective itch relief with good safety profiles.
