Overview

Skin conditions can dramatically affect your pet’s quality of life. Constant scratching, biting, or licking isn’t just annoying—it’s painful, stressful, and often a sign of an underlying issue. At LeelaVet Hospital, our Dermatology service specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of skin, coat, ear, and allergy-related conditions.

Skin problems can stem from allergies, parasites, infections, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalances, or dietary sensitivities. Our approach is comprehensive, using modern diagnostic tools and customized treatment protocols to provide fast relief and long-term control.
