Canine Skin Solutions, Inc.

Dr. Karen Helton Rhodes and Dr. Terri Bonenberger are board certified veterinary dermatologists with over 35 years of combined clinical experience. Through their work and friendship, they realized there was both a lack of accurate information about canine skin disease and effective products available to pet owners.
Pet owners would bring bags of products to their veterinary appointments and announce in frustration that none of the products had helped! As dedicated "pet parents", owners had spent countless hours on the internet searching for a solution only to find out later that the information was incorrect and the products ineffective. Self-proclaimed internet "experts" were often offering misleading, incorrect and potentially harmful advice. Most importantly, the doctors saw the emotionally devastating effect chronic skin disease had on their dogs and their families. Owners who wanted to be able to hug their dogs, have them sleep on the bed, and play freely with their children often no longer felt comfortable. Because not all pet owners can see a veterinary dermatologist, the doctors wanted to use their experience and vision to create an informational website with the therapeutic support of a veterinary dermatology-based skincare line to support the health of dogs, cats, and horses. Canine Skin Solutions, Inc. was born!
