Dermatology & Skin Care
Skin and ear care for lasting relief
Itching, hot spots, hair loss and recurring ear infections are among the most frustrating problems for pets and owners. Abu Dhabi’s heat and humidity can make them worse. We look for the underlying cause, not just the flare-up.
When to come in
- Scratching, licking or chewing paws more than usual
- Red, scaly or greasy skin, or patches of hair loss
- Head shaking, smelly ears or ear discharge
- Lumps, scabs or sores that do not heal
- Skin problems that keep coming back after treatment
What it covers
A dermatology consultation includes a detailed history and skin examination, with in-clinic tests such as skin scrapes, tape strips, ear cytology and fungal checks. Where needed, we discuss allergy investigation, food trials and laboratory tests.
What to expect
Many skin problems have more than one cause, such as allergies complicated by infection. We treat the immediate discomfort quickly, then build a step-by-step plan to find and manage the root cause, with clear follow-up checks.
Our approach
Chronic skin disease needs patience and a clear plan. We explain each step, keep treatment practical for your routine and adjust as we learn what works for your pet.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my dog keep getting ear infections?
Recurring ear infections are often a sign of an underlying allergy or ear shape that traps moisture. Treating the infection alone rarely solves the problem, so we look for the cause.
Could it be a food allergy?
Possibly. Food allergies are less common than environmental allergies but do occur. A strict elimination diet trial is the most reliable way to find out.
Will my pet need long-term medication?
Some allergic pets need ongoing management. Modern treatments are safe and effective, and we aim for the lowest effective dose.
