Vet Skin and Ear 304 Torquay Road, Grovedale, Victoria 3216

Welcome to Vet Skin and Ear, a leading veterinary care institution located in Grovedale, Australia. Our establishment specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of various skin and ear conditions in pets and horses.

At Vet Skin and Ear, we offer a range of services to address different dermatological issues. Our expertise includes complete skin allergy testing and immunotherapy for allergic dermatitis, management of stubborn and recurrent ear infections, and treatment of non-allergic skin diseases, including immune-mediated conditions. We work closely with you to accurately diagnose your pet's skin complaint and provide clear explanations regarding the expected prognosis, treatment planning, and associated costs. Our aim is to make our treatments as affordable as possible, ensuring that your beloved companion receives the care they need without financial burden.

We understand the urgency of certain cases and prioritize them accordingly. If your consultation is of utmost importance, please inform our nursing team, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. To contact us, please call (03)9500 0922 or email vets@vetskinandear.com.au. We also want to assure you that our old number, 0417019884, is still active and can be used to reach us.

For an initial consultation, we charge $343.00 (includes GST), which typically lasts between 60 to 75 minutes. This consultation involves a detailed review of your pet's medical history, a comprehensive dermatological examination, and necessary lab work. We will then explain the disease process and provide you with a thorough treatment plan. At the end of your visit, you will receive a detailed typed case summary, which will also be shared with your regular veterinarian. We believe in transparency and strive to make our treatments financially sustainable. Therefore, we discuss all costs with you upfront to avoid unnecessary follow-up visits.

We cannot stress enough the importance of early intervention in managing skin conditions. However, it is never too late to seek help. No matter how complex or severe the case may be, we are confident in our ability to have a positive impact. Our highly experienced veterinarian, Dr. Daniel Mitchell, has 21 years of experience in treating diseases of dogs, cats, and horses. He is a Professional Interest Practitioner in Veterinary Dermatology and accepts referrals from other veterinarians as well as direct enquiries from clients. Dr. Mitchell has undergone extensive training in Europe, spending three years under the guidance of world-leading veterinary dermatologists at the University of Vienna in Austria and earning his certification through the University of Luxembourg. He remains committed to staying up to date with the latest techniques in dermatology and regularly attends conferences both locally and abroad.

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 specific service, we recommend seeking assistance elsewhere.

From the moment you step into our clinic, you can expect to be well-informed and supported throughout your pet's treatment journey. Our initial consultations are thorough and involve detailed history collection, examination, and skin sampling for accurate diagnosis. We will provide you with clear expectations for short, medium, and long-term treatment plans and ensure that you leave each consultation with easy-to-understand instructions.

Furthermore, our commitment to your pet's well-being extends beyond the consultation room. Following our consultations, both Dr. Mitchell and our dedicated nursing team are available for case support. We want to ensure that your pet receives the best outcome, and we are readily available for follow-up visits and urgent re-visits.

At Vet Skin and Ear, we pride ourselves on providing targeted treatments that are not only effective but also affordable. We understand the importance of your pet's health and are dedicated to providing exceptional care. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and let us help with your pet or horse's skin condition.
