Dan and his friend

See our contact page for contact info.

An initial 60-80  minute consultation is $345.00 (includes GST). Medications, laboratory fees and surgery fees are additional.
The initial visit involves a detailed review of the case history, a complete dermatological examination and lab work, then an explanation of the disease process and management options. At the end of your visit you will receive a detailed typed case summary and thorough treatment plan. This will also be shared with your vet. We try to make the treatment financially sustainable, discuss all costs with you upfront, and won’t have you coming back in a short space of time unnecessarily.

The earlier, the better! But it is never too late. We can always have a positive impact, to any case, no matter how complex or severe.
Skin complaints in your pet can be difficult to manage. We will do our very best to get you a diagnosis promptly, and get treatment underway that is safe and effective.

Dr Daniel Mitchell is a vet with 21 years of experience in treating diseases of dogs, cats, and horses. He is a Professional Interest Practitioner in Veterinary Dermatology and accepts referrals from other veterinarians and direct enquiries from clients also.

Dr Mitchell has completed significant training in Europe over 3 years under supervision from the world’s leading veterinary dermatologists. This training has been completed at the University of Vienna (Austria) and he completed his certification through the University of Luxembourg. He continues to study dermatology to stay up to date with the latest techniques, and regularly attends conferences locally and abroad to complement this knowledge.

Dr Mitchell is closely connected to local vets and veterinary specialists in all fields. This allows for their input to your pet’s case as required. Beyond our local experts, interstate and overseas dermatology contacts can often be useful if your pet has an unusual or very rare skin condition as a platform for sharing information to achieve the best outcome.

Please note – Dr Daniel Mitchell is a certified professional-interest practitioner in veterinary dermatology. He is not an Australian Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist. For this service, please click here.

From the initial consultation, you will be well informed. The initial consultations can be quite thorough – involving a very detailed history collection, examination and skin sampling, to enable diagnosis. You will have clear expectations of the short, medium- and long-term treatment plan, and will leave each consultation with detailed, easy to understand instructions.

Following our consultations, we will do our best to make ourselves available for you for case support. We need to ensure that you have a smooth run with your treatments so we achieve the best outcome. Follow up visits can be organised at relatively short notice, and very urgent re-visits will be prioritized.
