Sometimes the best way to learn is by looking at real examples. This course will show real world cases and how to work through some of the most common scenarios in veterinary dermatology. Not all the cases are perfect, as in real life, but these will illustrate and provide information which will be useful in daily practice. As always, you can receive RACE credit which be very useful since many meetings are canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Learning Objectives:

- demonstrate useful and practical diagnostic tests for the pruritic dog.
