Pet Dermatology

Advanced Skin and Coat Care for Pets in Holt, ACT

Itching, hair loss, flaky skin, or chronic ear infections? Let Kippax Veterinary Hospital help. Our comprehensive pet dermatology services in Holt, ACT, are designed to identify and treat the root causes of your pet’s skin, coat, and ear problems.

What Is Veterinary Dermatology?

Veterinary dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin, coat, nail, and ear disorders in pets. Common conditions we treat include:

  • Allergies (environmental, food, or contact)
  • Acute and chronic ear infections
  • Skin infections (bacterial or fungal)
  • Hot spots
  • Hair loss or bald patches
  • Parasites (mites, fleas, lice)
  • Autoimmune or hormonal skin diseases

Our team uses detailed physical exams, skin scrapings, cytology, biopsies, and bloodwork to accurately diagnose and treat dermatologic issues. With a calm, compassionate approach, we aim to relieve discomfort, restore skin health, and help your pet feel like themselves again.

Expert Skin Care You Can Count On

At Kippax Veterinary Hospital, we’re experienced in treating dermatological issues in dogs, cats, and exotic pets. Our team is committed to ongoing education and uses the latest veterinary techniques and medicine to deliver thoughtful, tailored treatment.

Whether your pet needs relief from chronic ear infections or skin condition management, we provide high-standard, compassionate care in a calm and supportive environment.

We welcome pets from Holt, Belconnen, Dunlop, Latham, Spence, Fraser, and beyond.

Why Skin and Coat Health Matters

Skin is your pet’s largest organ—and it plays a crucial role in their overall health. Chronic skin issues can lead to:

  • Constant discomfort or itchiness
  • Secondary infections
  • Behavioural changes due to pain or stress
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Coat odour or excessive shedding

Early and accurate diagnosis allows us to provide effective treatment and long-term relief, improving your pet’s comfort and wellbeing.
