Bacterial skin infections remain one of the top reasons for antimicrobial prescriptions in dogs. But with rising resistance and fragile skin ecosystems, we’re at a crossroads.
🦠 The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is a growing global threat—and our continued reliance on antimicrobials may be fuelling the problem.
📉 Here's the dilemma: while antimicrobial treatment is often necessary, it can also reduce microbial diversity, disrupt the skin microbiome, and compromise long-term skin health.
So how do we break the cycle?
✅ By exploring alternative strategies to maintain and restore healthy skin, we can begin to reduce the need for antimicrobials—and preserve their effectiveness for when they’re truly essential.
The future of canine dermatology lies in prevention, balance, and innovation.
