Everyone struggles with ear infections.
Veterinarians, groomers, pet owners, and....dogs.
That is why I created a resource about them. We owe it to these dogs to ditch outdated thinking and improve our standard of care around how this common problem should be handled.

Have you ever wondered why the ear infection keeps coming back?
Everyone has! Veterinarians, groomers, and pet owners are all stumped by this common problem. That's why I created a free resource about it. I want to help everyone get on the same page when it comes to this problem.
Hi, I’m Dr. Painter!
I am a Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist® who works full-time helping dogs and their families with all things allergy. I decided it was time to go beyond my exam room and create a resource that helps pet owners, veterinarians, and groomers. Welcome to The Allergic Dog™.
Breakdown Topics
Over the years, I have fine tuned my ability to explain complex topics in ways that are easy for anyone to understand.
Practical Tips and Tools
Learn about the fundamental causes of your dog's problems, so you can help prevent them.
Expert-Driven Framework
My Four Pillar Framework™
As a Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist®, I see and treat ear infections every day. These can be complex cases that require dedicated understanding and care.
To help me achieve this, I use the Four Pillar Framework™. This system helps me stay organized, follow a plan, and ensure that I am achieving the best outcome for my patients.
And, I am going to teach it to you - for free!
What is the root cause?
This question is often overlooked, but it is often the most important. I empower you with the knowledge of what to ask and why it matters.
What is the infection?
Infections are not the whole story, but they are an important part of the story. I teach you how to think about infection so you can actually resolve it.
What keeps things rolling?
There are perpetuating factors that will come about and lead to worsening ear changes, especially in chronic cases. I review those here.
What about swimming?
Does swimming really make dogs more predisposed to ear infections? I answer this question and more in this free guide.
"My dog has had ear infections for years. It never seemed like anyone could explain what was actually going on. Always more drops, few answers. I am so glad that I found this resource. It has changed how I think about my dog's ear issues - which has made a world of difference for us all. 10/10!"

Veterinarians don't have a lot of time on their hands
In veterinary medicine, it's evident that everyone is pressed for time. The demand to see more appointments, assist more dogs, and deliver advanced care is a reality in primary care today. I understand this challenge. That's why I developed an ear course specifically for the busy GP.
