A big congratulations to Dr Ken Mason, founder of Dermcare-Vet, for being recognised by Veterinary Dermatology as the author of one of the top 10% most-viewed papers for 2023/2024! This is a significant accomplishment, given the journal’s global reach and its steady stream of high-quality dermatology articles and reviews published each month.
Dr Ken’s paper, “Canine Dermatitis on Contacting Grass Leaf: A Case Series,” presents a retrospective analysis of 18 Australian dogs exhibiting pruritic dermatitis localized to areas contacting grass. The study identifies a distinct hypersensitivity reaction, akin to human protein contact dermatitis, triggered by direct exposure to grass leaf proteins.
This paper represents the culmination of a lifelong passion — sharing his clinical experience and knowledge to better educate veterinarians around the world. His work has shed light on an often-overlooked cause of canine skin issues and is making a real difference in veterinary practices everywhere.
Well done, Dr Ken! Your dedication and expertise continue to inspire and elevate the field.
