The American College of Veterinary Dermatology is an organization formed under the auspices of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to certify veterinarians with extensive post-graduate training as specialists in dermatology. The college is charged by the AVMA to maintain the highest standard of training and certification.

To become a board-certified veterinary dermatologist, a veterinarian must complete at least 2 years of postgraduate residency training in an institution accredited by the ACVD, publish original research in the field of animal dermatology, demonstrate superior case management, and pass a comprehensive two-day examination.

Since 1980, Animal Dermatology Clinic has expanded to include nine full-time clinics and over 20 satellite locations in California, Oregon, Kentucky, Indiana, and Georgia, in addition to several full-time and satellite locations in Western Australia and New Zealand.
