vetderm.ch - Dermatology and Allergology for Animalsvetderm.ch is a specialized veterinary practice focusing on dermatology, allergology, and nutritional counselling, with locations in Zumikon and Cham. Under the direction of Dr. med. vet. Claudia S. Nett-Mettler, an internationally board-certified specialist in veterinary dermatology (Dipl. ACVD and EBVS® European Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology), the clinic offers high-level diagnostics and treatments for skin, ear, claw, and allergy-related conditions in dogs, cats, small animals, and horses. The comprehensive range of services includes the diagnosis and treatment of chronic skin conditions, ear diseases, itching, and coat changes, as well as the performance of skin allergy testing, video otoscopy for detailed ear examinations, microscopic analyses, and skin biopsies. State-of-the-art procedures such as CO₂ laser surgery are available for precise interventions, including tumour and polyp removal, ablation of actinic keratosis, and podoplasty for chronic podofurunculosis and pseudocallus formation. Cold plasma therapy is also used to support skin regeneration when indicated. In addition, the practice offers tailored nutritional counselling for dogs and cats—whether for managing dermatological issues, chronic internal diseases, weight reduction, or optimal feeding of puppies and senior animals. This counselling is based on a thorough assessment of the animal’s current health and nutritional status and results in a customized, needs-based feeding plan that may include BARF or home-cooked diets. The practice follows a holistic approach grounded in evidence-based methods, ongoing professional education, and close collaboration with referring primary care veterinarians. Its animal-friendly environment, combined with modern infrastructure and specialist expertise, makes vetderm.ch a reliable point of contact for dermatological and allergological concerns, as well as for sound nutritional advice for companion animals in Switzerland.
