Dermatology

Skin problems are among the most common health issues in pets, affecting their comfort, happiness, and overall well-being. From persistent itching to stubborn skin infections, dermatological conditions can be frustrating for both pets and their owners. Our team are here to help diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of pet skin issues, so your furry friend can feel their best.

✔ Hives or rashes – Red, inflamed, or irritated skin

✔ Frequent scratching or licking – Constant itching, chewing, or rubbing

✔ Skin infections – Sores, scabs, or foul odours from the skin

✔ Lumps and bumps – Unusual growths or swelling

✔ Changes in skin colour or texture – Darkened areas, flakiness, or thickened skin
