Hear from Happy Pet Parents
‘’ My 8-year-old Shih Tzu, Junuka, has been under Dr Disha Akerkar’s care since February 2025, and I couldn't be more grateful.
Junuka had been struggling with a chronic skin condition for years, and despite consulting several vets across Delhi, we never received a proper diagnosis or lasting relief.
Since we started treatment with Dr. Disha from The Skinvet, there's been a significant improvement. Her diagnosis was spot-on, and the condition is now much more manageable. What truly sets her apart is her consistent availability and dedication.
I live far away from Mumbai. But Dr Disha is always just a message or call away whenever I need guidance. Dr Disha is knowledgeable, precise, and deeply caring. I’m extremely happy with the care Junuka is receiving. ‘’

‘’ I had to change multiple vets for my 10-month-old Persian kitten, Leo, and every time he got injections that were not supposed to treat his ongoing issues, it instead complicated his health. I came across Dr Diu through Instagram, and it was worth it.
I respect that Dr Diu accepted my request to get the tests done and didn’t brush it off. And my kitten Leo started feeling better through a topical treatment, initially and got better with the medicines as well.
And the most impressive part was that they advised proper tests to be done so you could plan better for my kitten’s health.
And also not gatekeeping things, whether it was about treatment or explaining my query. Appreciate it. ‘’

‘’ Meeting Dr Somani has been such a blessing for me!
I was struggling with its bad skin infections with my Shih Tzu and kept going from pillar to post, running all sorts of expensive tests and giving medication on trial and error. That’s when her groomer referred me to Dr Somani, and since then, I swear by her.
She is super patient with the pets, personally checks in on progress, avoids harsh medication to the extent possible and the best part, my fur baby has been doing 100 times better with her treatment!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend. ‘’

‘’ Laila had been suffering with her skin issues for years. And we took her to countless doctors who tried so many treatments. The worst part was that her quality of life and sleep was getting affected. Within two weeks of starting treatment at SkinVet she started showing signs of improvement.
Her itching reduced and her hair started coming back. Truly indebted to the doctor and the team for helping us out. ‘’

‘’ Dr Diu Somani (The Skin Vet) and her team have been absolutely incredible with both my pets, Gabbar and Clover.
Clover had a persistent skin condition that didn’t respond to months of treatments and multiple vets. It was only under Dr Diu’s care that he finally healed completely.
Her expertise and attention to detail, combined with her kind and gentle approach, make her truly one of a kind. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! ‘’

‘’ We consulted Dr. Diu (The Skin Vet) for our paraplegic dog Ram, who was suffering from severe chronic skin issues including hair loss, constant itching, and redness.
We had tried multiple treatments before but all failed. Dr. Diu’s online consultation and medication showed results almost immediately. The itching and redness reduced, and his fur began to grow back. She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate.
Thank you to Dr. Diu and The Skin Vet team. ‘’
