The Skin Vet

The Skin Vet is an independent veterinary clinic focused specifically on pet dermatology (skin and ear disease) for dogs and cats. The clinic appears set up for work-ups of chronic/complex skin cases, with in-clinic diagnostics listed such as intradermal allergy testing, diagnostic cytology, and skin biopsy, plus e-consultations for remote case support. In the latest written reviews available to us, owners describe identifying atopic dermatitis after repeated antibiotics elsewhere and receiving a longer-term management plan with medication tweaks over time, while one rating is 1-star with no written detail, so the reason for dissatisfaction isn’t clear from the text we have.

• •Taking time to explain alopecia and treatment options, including what’s available and what an owner “shouldn’t be even tried,” and discussing ongoing research.
