She has also recently completed her Advanced Veterinary Practitioner Certificate (CertAVP) in Veterinary Dermatology with the University of Liverpool, a postgraduate qualification accredited by the RCVS.

These extended 30-minute appointments allow Sarah plenty of time to:�• Discuss your pet’s particular skin or ear problems in detail�• Carry out a thorough examination�• Take appropriate samples where needed�• Investigate possible underlying causes�• Develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your pet
Depending on your pet’s individual needs, diagnostic tests may include cytology, trichograms, Wood’s lamp examinations or skin scrapes. Additional tests, such as blood tests, may also be recommended depending on your pet’s age and circumstances.
