Acknowledgments
First, I want to thank Gail Kunkle and Richard Halliwell for their support and mentorship that got me started in dermatology. Second, I want to thank my clients and patients over the last 35 years who have taught me so much about dermatology that I did not know before. Next, I want to thank my husband, Paul, and sons, Christopher and Jacob, for all their love and support over the years. I love you guys more than you will ever know. Finally, I want to thank my best friend and business partner, Marcia Schwassmann, for making me a better person and veterinarian along with helping me edit this book.

Foreword
Dear Colleague
This book is not meant to be an all‐inclusive dermatology text. It is meant to help you understand how dermatologists think and what we feel is important when working up our cases, so you can improve how you work up your own dermatology cases. It will also hopefully improve the use of our veterinary nurses and the communication between the primary care veterinarian and the dermatologist. Furthermore, I have included information in this book about diseases whose incidences are increasing because of climate change and issues such as antibiotic resistance, which are not found in other currently available dermatology texts. As veterinarians we will become more important in the One Health movement as infectious diseases spread to new areas and antibiotic resistance continues to spread.
I want to thank the authors who contributed to this book for their hard work and diligence in delivering practical chapters with information that primary care veterinarians can use every day.
