Abstract
Canine atopic dermatitis is a model of human atopic dermatitis. This review provides an outline and discussion of clinical and other phenotypes of atopic dermatitis in dogs to better understand this disease in both dogs and humans. Although phenotypes of canine atopic dermatitis can vary widely, there is little research in dogs that has identified reliable phenotypic markers to be able to predict disease progression or response to therapy. Currently, canine atopic dermatitis patients need individually tailored therapy without the practitioner understanding why a certain treatment works well for one patient and not another. Perhaps by categorizing phenotypes, genetic or immunologic mechanisms will be discovered to result in better prevention and management of this common and often frustrating condition in both dogs and humans.
