Recognised as one of Pune's leading clinics for pet dermatology, we bring decades of experience to even the most stubborn skin conditions.
Skin issues are among the most common reasons pets visit our clinic. We diagnose and treat the full spectrum of dermatological conditions in dogs and cats.
Environmental allergies (atopy), food allergies, and flea allergy dermatitis causing intense itching, redness, and recurrent ear infections. We identify triggers through systematic testing and elimination diets.
Pyoderma, hot spots, folliculitis, and deep skin infections. We perform culture and sensitivity testing to select the most effective antibiotics and prevent resistance.
Demodectic and sarcoptic mange causing hair loss, scaling, and intense itching. Accurate mite identification through skin scraping guides targeted treatment protocols.
Ringworm (dermatophytosis), yeast infections (Malassezia), and systemic fungal conditions. Diagnosed through fungal culture and treated with topical and systemic antifungal therapy.
Pemphigus, lupus, and other autoimmune skin diseases that cause crusting, ulceration, and depigmentation. Biopsy-confirmed diagnosis with immunosuppressive management.
Hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease, and other endocrine disorders that manifest as symmetrical hair loss, skin darkening, and poor coat quality. Hormonal testing and long-term management.
Many skin conditions look similar on the surface but have vastly different underlying causes. At SPCU, we never guess - we investigate. Our dermatology approach combines thorough diagnostics with targeted, evidence-based treatment.
Skin scraping, fungal culture, cytology, biopsy, allergy testing, and hormonal panels to pinpoint the exact cause.
Culture-guided antibiotics, antifungals, immunomodulators, and antiparasitic medications - chosen specifically for your pet's condition.
Therapeutic shampoos, medicated dips, topical sprays, and soothing rinses that complement systemic treatment and provide relief.
Chronic conditions require ongoing care. We create maintenance plans with scheduled follow-ups, dietary adjustments, and preventive strategies.
Skin conditions require patience, precision, and deep clinical experience. Here's what makes SPCU different.
Dr. Raut and the SPCU team have been diagnosing and treating complex dermatological conditions for over three decades. Many cases referred to us have been unresponsive to treatment elsewhere.
Skin scrapings, cytology, and microscopic evaluation are done on-site during your visit. We don't start treating until we know exactly what we're treating.
Certain breeds are predisposed to specific skin conditions. Our team understands breed-specific dermatology and tailors treatment accordingly - from Bulldogs to Persians.
Skin conditions often require weeks of treatment. We stay with you through the entire journey - regular check-ups, progress tracking, and treatment adjustments as your pet heals.
Bathe Smart, Not Often
Over-bathing strips natural oils. Bathe dogs every 3-4 weeks with a vet-approved shampoo. Cats rarely need baths.
Nutrition Is Foundation
Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and quality protein support healthy skin and coat. Ask us about the best diet for your pet.
Parasite Prevention
Regular tick and flea prevention is non-negotiable. Most allergic skin disease has a parasitic component.
Watch for Early Signs
Excessive scratching, licking paws, head shaking, redness, or flaky skin - don't wait for it to get worse.
Environment Matters
Keep bedding clean, control humidity, and reduce allergen exposure. A clean environment supports healthy skin.
While we treat the condition, much of skin health maintenance happens at home. As your pet's daily caretaker, you play a critical role in their dermatological wellbeing.
Simple habits - the right diet, regular grooming, consistent parasite prevention, and early veterinary visits - can prevent many skin problems from developing in the first place.
We educate every pet parent who visits our clinic on breed-specific skin care, appropriate grooming frequency, and the warning signs to watch for. Knowledge is your pet's first line of defence.
