Skin & Ear Care in Mississauga, ON
We manage most skin and ear conditions in-house, from identifying underlying causes to providing effective treatment plans. Our goal is to keep your pet comfortable, reduce irritation, and support long-term skin health.
If your pet requires more specialized care, we can refer you to a board-certified veterinary dermatologist for advanced diagnostics and treatment.
Common Skin Conditions in Pets
Skin issues are common and can be caused by allergies, infections (bacterial or fungal), parasites such as fleas or mites, or underlying medical conditions. These may present as itching, redness, hair loss, ear infections, or changes in the skin and coat.
Early evaluation is important to prevent these conditions from worsening and causing further discomfort.
Diagnosing and Treating Skin Issues
Many skin conditions can be diagnosed through a physical exam, and when needed, we perform additional diagnostics in-house such as skin tests, cytology, blood work, or other assessments to better understand the root cause.
Based on your pet’s needs, we provide treatment for allergies, infections, ear conditions, and parasite-related issues, along with guidance for managing chronic skin conditions.
When to Seek Help
If your pet is scratching excessively, shaking their head, developing redness, scabs, hair loss, or ear discharge, it’s a good time to have them assessed.
Our team is here to help manage your pet’s skin and ear health, and we will guide you through next steps, including referral to a specialist if needed.
