Dermvet Skin & Ear Clinic

The Dermvet Skin& Ear Clinic is run by Veterinary Dermatologist David Bentley and is currently run from the Leicester Forest East Branch of Bell Brown and Bentley Veterinary Surgeons. Treatment of skin and ear disease in dogs and cats has been David's passion for most of his professional career, obtaining his RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Dermatology in 1994, after qualifying from Liverpool Vet School in 1982. Since the RCVS established the status of Advanced Practitioner in 2015, David has been designated an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Dermatology and since 1992 has a member of the British Veterinary Dermatology Study Group and the European Society of Veterinary Dermatology. He regularly attends meetings and conferences at home and abroad to keep abreast of latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of pet skin and ear disease. At the Dermvet Skin and Ear clinic we see both referral and second opinion cases and treat dogs and cats with allergies, parasitic skin diseases, bacterial, viral and fungal skin infections, immune-mediated skin disease, nutritional and hormonal skin conditions and various types of skin growths and cancers. We have access to a fully equipped laboratory and powerful microscope, essential in working up most pet skin and ear cases. We also have a good relationship with a dedicated dermatohistopathologist when it comes to examining skin biopsies - this is a specialised field and there only a small number of skin pathologists in the UK a veterinary dermatologist will trust. With this equipment and knowledge at our disposal and the brand new Storz Video Otoscope with VetPump®, we can provide all the facilities on site to deal with the most complex of skin and ear conditions and can offer treatment possibilities unavailable in general practice. We are one of only a few veterinary dermatology clinics offering Video Otoscopy in the midlands.
