Treatment

Your happy pet can feel miserable with
irritated, inflamed or infected skin.

Finding a way to ease their discomfort starts with a consultation at our hospital with Dr Fiona Scholz, our dedicated Veterinary Dermatology Specialist.

Dr Fiona (BSc, BVMS, MANZCVS, DACVD, FANZCVS) is a Board-certified and Fellowship-trained veterinary dermatologist. And, as a certified Fear-Free Dermatologist she knows how to minimise your pet’s distress during their visit.

She provides consults, testing, diagnosis and treatment in our Bunbury animal hospital. So, your pet can get the specialised treatment and relief they need, without the stress and added expense of frequent trips to Perth.

110% best vet in the area, not only are they amazing with my anxious American Staffy but their expertise saved my parents’ bull terrier’s life when we were told she only had a few weeks left from other vets which I’ll always be grateful for. Couldn’t recommend enough –

Dermatology consultations

Don’t let your pet suffer in silence with itchy, irritated or inflamed skin. Dr Fiona is a highly skilled animal dermatology specialist. She will diagnose your pet’s skin condition, identify its cause, and help your pet get long-term relief.

Allergy testing & desensitisation

If allergies are making life uncomfortable for your pet, Dr Fiona can help. She offers on-site intradermal allergy testing to identify the cause of your pet’s allergies and, when needed, can provide allergy desensitisation here at our vet hospital.

Skin cancer diagnosis

The hot Aussie sun puts dogs and cats at risk from skin cancer. Our on-site lab and cancer clinic allow your pet to receive diagnosis, advice, surgery, chemotherapy and ongoing care here at our vet hospital. There’s no need to go anywhere else.

Our mastiff was recently diagnosed with a massive tumor filling her stomach cavity. Against the odds, Dr Rob decided to operate, somehow managing to remove the growth without damaging surrounding organs, saving her life. Without Treendale’s fantastic surgeons and hyper modern facilities our puppy would be no more…Thanks so much guys.
