She attended veterinary school at Western University of Health Sciences, where she graduated with honors and was the recipient of multiple awards, including the American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology’s Excellence in Veterinary Dermatology, the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine’s Certificate of Clinical Excellence, Merck Academic Excellence, and the Dean’s Award, the top academic and leadership honor among her graduating class.
Dr. Lancellotti completed a rotating internship at Animal Specialty Group in Los Angeles, followed by a residency with Animal Dermatology Clinic. Dr. Lancellotti is published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association for her large-scale independent study on the safety of Apoquel.
Dr. Lancellotti has a special interest in managing allergic and hormonal diseases affecting the skin and ears, minimally invasive mass removals, and biopsy site selection for dermatohistopathology. Dr. Lancellotti takes a detailed and creative approach to her patient’s medical recommendations to reduce both patient and owner anxiety, leading to happier pets, healing of the skin, and repairing the human-animal bond.
Dr. Lancellotti is committed to educating pet owners and improving their understanding of their pet’s skin and ear disease. She is the founder and host of the Your Vet Wants You to Know podcast, offering an accessible, engaging education tool. She encourages many of her clients to listen to the various podcasts to reinforce the information shared during their visit. She is also committed to educating other veterinary professionals. Dr. Lancellotti is a national and international speaker, teaching at large veterinary conferences, lecturing to veterinary dermatology residents, and presenting to global expert panels of veterinary dermatologists.
She loves spending time with her three dogs, including Russell Sprout, a spunky, snaggle-toothed terrier, who has challenged her understanding of allergies, anxiety, and Cushing’s disease, allowing her to sympathize with clients on many levels. Russell Sprout is the Your Vet Wants You to Know mascot, and his journey with Dr. Lancellotti through allergy testing, ear infections, and Cushing’s disease, all while struggling with behavior problems which complicated treatment, have helped her to get creative and offer unique solutions for her clients as well.
