Skin & Ear Services

Skin and ear issues are among the most common concerns for pet parents and can often be linked to underlying allergies or infections. Our consultations are designed to identify the root cause of your pet’s discomfort and provide targeted treatment options to keep them healthy, comfortable, and itch-free.

How Do I Know If My Pet Needs a Skin & Ear Consultation?

If your pet is frequently scratching, licking, shaking their head, has redness, odor, hair loss, or recurring ear infections, it’s time for an exam. Early intervention can help prevent more serious and costly conditions.

Skin/Ear Consultation

Skin/Ear Cytology

Ear Cleaning

A skin and ear consultation is a comprehensive exam where our veterinary team evaluates your pet’s symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle to determine the cause of irritation or infection. This visit allows us to identify underlying issues such as allergies, parasites, or infections and create a personalized treatment plan.

A cytology is a simple, non-invasive test where a small sample from your pet’s skin or ear is collected and examined under a microscope. This helps us identify bacteria, yeast, or inflammation, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

An ear cleaning helps remove wax buildup, debris, and discharge that can contribute to discomfort and infection. It may be recommended as part of treatment or routine care, and can help improve your pet’s comfort while supporting overall ear health.
