Dermatology and Skin Care
Helping Your Pet Find Relief From Itching, Irritation, and Ear Infections
Skin problems are some of the most common concerns we see in dogs and cats, and they can affect everything from comfort to sleep to daily happiness. At Glastonbury Veterinary Hospital, we take a thoughtful, compassionate approach to diagnosing and treating dermatologic conditions so your pet can feel like themselves again.
Whether your pet is facing seasonal allergies, chronic itching, red or flaky skin, hair loss, or recurring ear infections, we take the time to understand the cause and create a treatment plan that truly helps. Our goal is always to reduce discomfort, prevent future flare-ups, and help your pet enjoy daily life again.
What We Treat
We diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions, including:
- Itching, scratching, or chewing at skin
- Hot Spots
- Dry or flaky skin
- Hair loss
- Allergies (environmental, food, or flea-related)
- Redness, irritation, or rashes
- Chronic or recurring ear infections
- Paw licking
- Bacterial skin infections
- Fungal skin infections
We always begin with a gentle, thorough exam and a conversation about what you’re noticing at home.
Understanding Ear Infections
Ear infections are especially common in dogs and can cause significant discomfort. Symptoms may include:
- Head shaking
- Scratching or rubbing the ears
- Odor or discharge
- Redness or swelling
- Sensitivity or pain when touched
Because ear infections can be caused by allergies, moisture, anatomy, or underlying inflammation, we take time to determine the root cause, not just treat symptoms.
Chronic ear infections are often linked to allergies. Treating the underlying cause helps prevent repeated flare-ups.
