CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a clinical syndrome and not a single disease. It is a multifactorial and complex inflammatory syndrome in which the skin is the main route of exposure. CAD results from an inherited predisposition to develop hypersensitivities to environmental allergens that do not induce a problem in non-allergic individuals. Allergens can include dust mites, pollens, dander, insect particles and molds. Understanding how to implement alternative therapies such as immunotherapy skin/ear care is important in long-term management.

Dr. Ashley Bourgeois is a board-certified veterinary dermatologist practicing at Animal Dermatology Clinic in Portland, OR. She completed her bachelor’s degree at Iowa State University and graduated from the University of Missouri’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. She then completed a one-year small animal internship at Purdue University. Upon finishing her internship, she accepted a residency position with the Animal Dermatology Clinic’s Tustin, California location in 2011. She became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology in 2014. She has a strong interest in autoimmune skin diseases, allergies, cytology, and otology. Dr. Bourgeois is passionate about educating veterinarians in dermatology and work/life integration through her podcast, lecturing, and social media presence (The Derm Vet).
