Canine atopic dermatitis (DAC) is an itchy inflammatory condition based on genetic predisposition to develop some hypersensitivity to food and / or environmental allergens, with clinical signs in response to exposure, characterized by severe itching. The diagnosis is made by anamnesis, by exclusion and histopathological exams. The treatment consists of controlling clinical signs, avoiding exposure to allergens as much as possible, since the condition has no cure. This case report deals with the clinical evolution of a canine poodle affected by DAC undergoing treatment over a seven-year period, concomitantly with complications due to canine pancreatitis. Clinical improvement was achieved after several attempts at treatment, the use of glucocorticoids being the only medication that significantly attenuated the clinical signs of the disease. Thus, the canine remains clinically controlled for atopic dermatitis with corticosteroids and the use of specific shampoos and moisturizers, in addition to reducing exposure to environmental allergens.
