Allergic skin disease remains one of the most common and frustrating conditions in small animal practice, and treatment failures can have a negative impact on the overall success of the practice, as well as relationships with pet owners. This lecture will provide a review of management of allergic dermatitis in dogs, including flea allergy dermatitis, adverse food reaction, and atopic dermatitis, and compare currently available treatment options. We will take a detailed look at Numelvi, Merck Animal Health’s new JAK inhibitor for the treatment of allergic dermatitis in dogs, including its mechanism of action, clinical indications, safety profile, and integration into existing treatment protocols.
