Dermatology

Dermatology Clinic for skin and ear problems including allergies, infections, hair loss and more from certificate holder Jo at our Horley branch.

Is Your Pet's Skin or Ears a Concern? We Can Help.

One of the most frequent causes of pet visits to the vet is skin disease. From itching to ear infections or hair loss, dermatological problems can cause discomfort, and often have complex underlying causes.

Early diagnosis and effective long-term management significantly reduce long-term costs as well as the owner's emotional burden and improve the pet's quality of life. Which is why our dermatology service is built around a modern, evidence-based, and multimodal approach.

Meet Jo

Our dermatology consultations are led by Dr Jo Baszczyk, a veterinary surgeon with many years clinical experience who holds RCVS Advanced Veterinary Practitioner Certificate in Veterinary Dermatology. Jo is based at our Horley practice.
