Abstract
Skin problems in dogs represent a daily important casuistic in veterinary practices. They affect both young and adult animals and may have varied causes, challenging the correct diagnosis. Within this context, it should be emphasized the close coexistence and attachment to their owners who play a crucial role in the development and treatment of part of the so-called psychogenic dermatitis. This type of illness must be understood as a multifactorial problem that requires a lot from all parties involved to be an effective therapy for the patient. Several medicines are indicated for the treatment, but most of them cause long-term side effects. For these reasons, different therapies, such as homeopathy, should be considered as alternative treatments. This article aimed to report a psychogenic dermatitis case in a 10-year-old male dog suffering from separation anxiety, which led to the development of a compulsive licking behavior. The patient was treated with injectable homeopathic medicines, and excellent results were recorded in a short period.
