Scratch Below the Surface

Skin problems can be upsetting for both pets and their owners. They often seem hard to manage, but the good news is that with expert veterinary care and a personalised plan, your pet’s condition can be brought under control – and that relentless itching soothed.

XLVets members created the Scratch Below the Surface initiative to help you spot the signs of skin issues early and understand how they can be treated. Many vet practices offer skin check clinics, so if you’re worried your pet might be suffering, now is the perfect time to book an appointment.

We’ve created helpful resources to guide you through every step, including informative booklets, diagnosis charts, and personalised treatment plans. These tools are designed to make managing skin conditions easier and give you confidence in the long-term care your pet may need.

Our goal is simple: to support you and your pet, provide answers, and ensure they feel comfortable and happy again. Speak to your local vet today and let’s tackle those skin problems together.
