Skin, ear, and allergy issues are more common than many realize…
When left untreated, they can cause discomfort and frustration for pets and their families. At Vogel Veterinary Emergency and Specialty, we focus on your pet’s comfort every step of the way, providing early, accurate diagnosis and clear guidance so issues are addressed before they escalate.
Our cat and dog dermatologists and specialty team help pets across Stratham, Exeter, and Portsmouth NH—as well as greater New England, to find relief from itching, infections, and chronic skin conditions. Our goal is simple: help pets feel their best while giving families honest information and treatment options they can trust.
Skin and ear problems often have underlying causes that require specialized diagnosis and care. Our dermatology services address a wide range of conditions affecting pets in the Seacoast region.
Allergies are one of the most common reasons pets visit a veterinary dermatologist, often causing chronic itching, skin irritation, and recurring ear or skin infections.
Environmental allergies—also known as atopic dermatitis—can significantly impact a pet’s comfort and quality of life. Because parasites, infections, and other conditions can closely mimic allergies, reaching an accurate diagnosis requires a thoughtful process of elimination and a personalized treatment approach.
Skin infections can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and increasingly difficult to treat when resistant microbes are involved. Early recognition is key.
Our team focuses on identifying underlying triggers, using advanced diagnostics, and staying current with evolving treatment approaches to create thoughtful, individualized plans that go beyond standard antibiotics alone.
Recurring ear infections can quickly become painful and more difficult to manage if left untreated. Early evaluation, proper cleaning techniques, and carefully selected medications all play an important role in long-term ear health.
When needed, gentle sedation allows us to thoroughly examine the ears and provide the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatment possible.
Autoimmune skin diseases are more common than many realize and can often resemble other dermatologic conditions.
Early biopsies and thoughtful sample selection are critical for reaching an accurate diagnosis. Once identified, we tailor immune-modulating treatments carefully to each pet, helping manage symptoms while prioritizing comfort and long-term quality of life.
Hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on your pet’s skin, coat, and overall health.
Through thoughtful testing and careful evaluation, we can distinguish endocrine disorders from other dermatologic causes of hair loss or poor coat quality—allowing us to create a treatment plan focused on the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
While most skin and ear conditions develop gradually, some dermatologic problems require urgent attention.
Sudden swelling, severe allergic reactions, painful skin lesions, or rapidly worsening infections can be alarming for both pets and their families. Our team is equipped to quickly evaluate emergency dermatology situations. If you are unsure if it’s an emergency, just call.
“Dermatology care is about more than treating skin conditions—it’s about providing clear answers, thoughtful guidance, and treatment plans that families can trust.”

Itching, redness, hair loss, or recurring rashes can all signal underlying dermatologic conditions. Early evaluation allows us to identify the cause—whether allergies, infections, or another condition—and begin treatment before the problem worsens.
Appointments begin with a detailed exam and review of your pet’s medical history. We may perform diagnostic tests such as skin scrapings, cultures, or allergy testing. Our team explains each step and creates a treatment plan tailored to your pet.
Prevention often involves addressing underlying causes such as allergies or hormonal conditions. We also provide guidance on home care, ear cleaning, medications, and environmental adjustments to help prevent recurrence.
Most dermatology procedures are minimally invasive. When necessary, we use sedation or gentle techniques to keep pets calm and comfortable while ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Some dermatologic conditions can be fully resolved, while others—such as environmental allergies—may require ongoing management. Our focus is on reducing flare-ups, improving comfort, and maintaining a high quality of life.
Results vary depending on the condition. Some pets improve within days, while chronic conditions may take several weeks of treatment and monitoring. We adjust treatment plans as needed to achieve the best outcome.
