What is the ACVD?

The American College of Veterinary Dermatology (ACVD) is a group of veterinarians who have expertise and specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of animals with benign and malignant disorders of the skin, hair, ears, and nails. This includes evaluating patients for external parasites, allergies, hormonal skin diseases and auto-immune diseases. They are able to perform many specialized diagnostic procedures including microscopic examination of the skin and hair, allergy testing, and video-otoscopic (ear) examinations. Diplomates of the specialty have received additional training which enables them to capitalize on various procedures such as skin biopsies and their interpretation. They specialize in managing chronic skin and ear disease with an emphasis on preventative medicine. Diplomates are also involved in the research and development of new drugs and therapies for various skin conditions.
