Vet Skin and Ear

Welcome to Vet Skin and Ear, located at 63 Golf Links Road, Barwon Heads, Australia. We are a veterinary care establishment specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin and ear conditions in pets and horses.

At Vet Skin and Ear, we have extensive experience in managing a range of skin issues, including allergic dermatitis, non-allergic skin diseases, and immune-mediated diseases. We offer complete skin allergy testing and immunotherapy for allergic dermatitis, as well as effective management strategies for stubborn and recurrent ear infections.

Our dedicated team works closely with you to ensure an accurate diagnosis of your pet or horse's skin complaint. We believe in clear communication and will explain everything to you, including the expected prognosis, treatment planning, and associated costs. We strive to make our treatments as affordable as possible while providing the highest standard of care.

If you require urgent consultation, please inform our nursing team, and we will do our best to accommodate you. You can reach us at (03)9500 0922 or via email at vets@vetskinandear.com.au. Our previous contact number, 0417019884, is still active.

For an initial consultation, which typically lasts 60-75 minutes, the cost is $343.00 (includes GST). Additional charges may apply for medications, laboratory fees, and surgical procedures. During the consultation, we will conduct a thorough review of your pet or horse's medical history, perform a comprehensive dermatological examination, and conduct necessary lab work. We will then explain the disease process and provide you with a detailed treatment plan. This plan will also be shared with your regular veterinarian to ensure continuity of care.

We believe in early intervention, but it is never too late to seek our help. No matter how complex or severe the skin condition may be, we can make a positive impact. Skin complaints can be challenging to manage, but with our expertise, we will strive to provide a prompt diagnosis and initiate safe and effective treatment.

Dr. Daniel Mitchell, our experienced veterinarian with 21 years of experience, specializes in veterinary dermatology. He has received extensive training in Europe under the guidance of world-leading veterinary dermatologists at the University of Vienna (Austria) and the University of Luxembourg. Dr. Mitchell is committed to staying up to date with the latest techniques and regularly attends conferences both locally and internationally.

Please note that while Dr. Daniel Mitchell is a certified professional-interest practitioner in veterinary dermatology, he is not an Australian Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist. If you require this specialized service, we can provide you with a referral.

From your initial consultation onwards, we prioritize keeping you well informed. Our consultations are thorough and involve detailed history collection, examination, and skin sampling for accurate diagnosis. You will leave each consultation with clear expectations of the short, medium, and long-term treatment plan, along with easy-to-understand instructions.

Following our consultations, both Dr. Mitchell and our nursing team are available to provide ongoing case support. We want to ensure that your treatments run smoothly and achieve the best possible outcome. Follow-up visits can be scheduled at short notice, and urgent re-visits will be prioritized.

At Vet Skin and Ear, we are committed to providing targeted treatments that are not only effective but also affordable. We understand the importance of your pet or horse's well-being and will work with you to ensure their skin condition is properly managed.

We look forward to assisting you with your pet or horse's skin condition. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
