We are conveniently located in South Lake Union, two blocks North of REI, with free parking available.
Hours of operation: Monday 10am-3pm

At DCA, we specialize in the diagnosis and management of skin and ear infections, allergies, endocrine diseases, hair loss disorders, auto-immune and cancerous skin conditions, laser surgical procedures and much more. Explore our services and contact us to schedule an appointment.
Each exam room is equipped with video-otoscopy so that clients can see the structures and health of their pet's ear canals.
Allergies generally cause itching. The offending allergens can be pollens, molds, household allergens, insects, or foods.
DCA is equipped with the most advanced CO2 laser, which can be used for the removal of various skin and ear masses...
